Answer 1

Given:

The equation is

`8x-5y=-11`

To find:

The x-intercept and y-intercept of the given equation.

Solution:

We have,

`8x-5y=-11`

For x-intercept, y=0.

`8x-5(0)=-11`

`8x=-11`

`x=-(11)/(8)`

`x=-1.375`

So, the x-intercept is at point (-1.375,0).

For y-intercept, x=0.

`8(0)-5y=-11`

`-5y=-11`

`y=(-11)/(-5)`

`y=2.2`

So, the y-intercept is at point (0,2.2).
