Question

Number 22.

Find the x- and y-intercepts of 5y- 3x=15

A. x-int 5
Y-int 3

B. X-int -5
Y-int -3

C. X-int -5
Y-int 3

D. X-int 5
Y-int -3

Answer 1

To find the x-intercept, let y = 0, and solve for x.

5y - 3x = 15

Let y = 0.

5(0) - 3x = 15

-3x = 15

x = -5

The x-intercept is -5.

To find the y-intercept, let x = 0, and solve for y.

5y - 3x = 15

Let x = 0.

5y - 3(0) = 15

5y - 0 = 15

5y = 15

y = 3

The y-intercept is 3.

Answer:

C. X-int -5

Y-int 3
