Answer:

• x-intercept: 0
• y-intercept: 0

Explanation:

Given:

3x + 5 = - 3y + 5

Find:

the x- and y-intercepts

Solution:

The x-intercept can be found by solving for x when y=0.

3x +5 = 0 +5

3x = 0

x = 0 . . . the x-intercept

__

The y-intercept can be found by solving for y when x=0.

0 +5 = -3y +5

0 = -3y

0 = y . . . the y-intercept

Both intercepts are (0, 0).
