Question

How do i do this. Im mad lost

Answer 1

x-int: (8/3, 0)

y-int: (0, -32/3)

Explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

x-intercept is the x-value when y = 0

y-intercept is the y-value when x = 0

Step 1: Write equation

2x - 1/3 = 1/2y + 5

Step 2: Subtract 5 on both sides

2x - 16/3 = 1/2y

Step 3: Multiply 2 on both sides

4x - 32/3 = y

Step 4: Rewrite

y = 4x - 32/3

Step 5: Find x-int

0 = 4x - 32/3

32/3 = 4x

x = 8/3

(8/3, 0)

Step 6: Find y-int

y = 4(0) - 32/3

y = 0 - 32/3

y = -32/3

(0, -32/3)
