Question

Find the x and y intercepts for y=-negative (2/5)x+3

Answer 1

(0;3), (7.5;0).

Explanation:

if the given equtaion is y=-0.4x+3, then

1) condition 'x-intercept' means y=0, then

-0.4x+3=0; ⇒ x=7.5;

2) condition 'y-intercept' means x=0, then

y=-0.4*0+3; ⇒ y=3.

3) finally,

x-intercept is x=7.5;

y-intercept is y=3.
