Question

Determine the intercepts of the line.
y = 5x – 13
y-intercept:
2-intercept:

Answer 1

y-intercept : -13

x-intercept: 13/5

Explanation:

to get y intercept put x=0

and to get x intercept put y=0!!!

✌️:)

Answer 2

x intercept 5/13

y intercept -13

Explanation:

y = 5x – 13

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

0 = 5x -13

Add 13 to each side

13 = 5x

Divide each side by 5

13/5 =5x/5

13/5 =x

The x intercept is 13/5

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

y = 0 -13

y = -13
