Question

Y=-10x-75How do I get the x-intercept of this linear equation

Answer 1

`y=-10x-75`

In order to find the x-intercept, we must make y equal to 0.

`0=-10x-75`

then, clear the equation for x

`\begin{gathered} 10x=-75 \\ x=-(75)/(10) \\ x=-7.5 \end{gathered}`

The x-intercept of the linear equation is (-7.5,0)
