Question

Calculate the x and y-intercepts for 5x - 25y = -125.

Choose the correct answer.
A. x-intercept is (0, 25), y-intercept is (5, 0)
B. x-intercept is (-25,0), y-intercept is (0,5)
C. x-intercept is(5, 0) y-intercept is (0,-25)
D. x-intercept is(-5, 0) y-intercept is (0, 25)

Answer 1

The x-intercept is (-25, 0) and the y-intercept is (0, 5).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-intercept, let y = 0 and solve for x. Substitute 0 for y in the equation:

5x - 25(0) = -125

5x = -125

x = -25

Therefore, the x-intercept is (-25, 0).

To find the y-intercept, let x = 0 and solve for y. Substitute 0 for x in the equation:

5(0) - 25y = -125

-25y = -125

y = 5

Therefore, the y-intercept is (0, 5).
