Question

#5 please help me solve this

Answer 1

x intercept = -7/2

y intercept = 21/5

Explanation:

-6x +5y = 21

To find the x intercept, set y=0 and solve for x

-6x +5(0) =21

-6x =21

Divide each side by -6

-6x/-6 = 21/-6

x = -21/6 = -7/2

To find the y intercept, set x=0 and solve for y

-6(0) +5y = 21

5y =21

Divide each side by 5

5y/5 =21/5

y = 21/5
