To find the x-intercept set y =0. Solve for x.

6x+5y=-30

6x+5(0)=-30

6x+0=-30

6x=-30

x=-30/6

x=-5

The x-intercept is at (-5, 0)

To find the y-intercept set x =0. Solve for y.

6x+5y=-30

6(0)+5y=-30

0+5y=-30

5y=-30

y=-30/5

y=-6

The y-intercept is at (0, -6)

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

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

6x+5y = -30

6x = -30

Divide by 6

x = -30/6 = -5

The x intercept is (-5,0)

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

6x+5y = -30

5y = -30

Divide by 5

y = -30/5 = -6

The y intercept is (0,-6)
