Question

Identify the x-intercept. y=1/5x+3.

Answer 1

(-15,0)

Explanation:

0 = ⅕x + 3

⅕x = -3

x = -15

Answer 2

-15 is the x intercept

Explanation:

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

y=1/5x+3

0 = 1/5x +3

Subtract 3 from each side

-3 = 1/5x +3-3

-3 = 1/5x

Multiply by 5

-3*5 = 1/5x*5

-15 =x
