Question

Find the x- and y-intercept of the line -10x - 6y = 120

Answer 1

`-10x-6y=120`

x-intercept when y = 0


`-10x-6\cdot0=120\\\\-10x-0=120\\\\-10x=120\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ (-10)\\\\x=-12\to(-12;\ 0)`

y-intercept when x = 0


`-10\cdot0-6y=120\\\\0-6y=120\\\\-6y=120\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ (-6)\\\\y=-20\to(0;-20)`
