Question

Find the ordered pairs for the x- and y-intercepts of the equation 5x − 6y = 30 and select the appropriate option below.

The x-intercept is (6, 0), the y-intercept is (0, –5).

The x-intercept is (0, 6); the y-intercept is (–5, 0).

The x-intercept is (5, 0); the y-intercept is (0, –6).

The x-intercept is (0, 5); the y-intercept is (–6, 0).

Answer 1

5x - 6y = 30
6y = 5x - 30
Y = 5/6x - 5
y intercept = -5
Therefore (0, -5)

0 = 5/6x - 5
5/6x = 5
x = 6
x intercept = 6
therefore (6,0)

answer : first one
x intercept =

Answer 2

For finding the x intercept
y=0, 5x-6*0=30, x=30:5, x= 6 ⇒ (6,0)- the x intercept

for y intercept, x=0
5*0-6y=30, -6y=30, y= - 30/6, y= - 5 ⇒ (0, -5 ) - the y intercept

the first is correct answer
