Question

Find the x and y intercepts of the graph
of the equation 13x + 5y = 65.

Answer 1

x-intercept: (5,0)

y-intercept: (0,13)

Explanation:

x-intercepts are when y=0, so plug it into the equation

`13x+5\cdot 0=65`

`x=5` so (5,0)

y-intercepts are when x=0, so plug it into the equation

`13\cdot 0 + 5y=65`

`y=13` so (0,13)
