Question

Graph the equation and identify the x- and y-intercepts.3x = -5y

Answer 1

For the y-intercept clear the y:

`3x=-5y`
`5y=-3x`
`y=-(3)/(5)x`

Replace x for 0:

`y=0`

The y intercept will be 0.

Now replace equal to the intercept:

`0=-(3)/(5)x`

The intercept in x and y is (0,0)

So the answer is:

Because the slope is -3/5
