Question

For numbers 14-16, find the x and y intercepts of the function.15. 2x + 5y = -30

Answer 1

Function is

2x + 5y = -30

Now find x,y. Intercepts

First find x intercept. Write y= 0

Then

2x + 5•0 = -30

2x = -30

x= -30/2= -15

Now find y intercept. Write x= 0

Then

2•0 + 5y = -30

5y = -30

y = -30/5= -6

So then , ANSWER for intercepts are

Point A = (-15,0)

Point B= (0, -6)
