Question

Determine the intercepts of the line.
2x + 5y = -6
y-intercept: ?
r-intercept: ?

Answer 1

y-int = (0,-6/5)

x-int = (-3,0)

Explanation:

to find the ints you have to replace the values by zero

y-int :

2(0) + 5y = -6

0 + 5y = -6

5y = -6

y = -6/5

y-int = (0,-6/5)

x-int:

2x + 5(0) = -6

2x + 0 = -6

2x = -6

x = -6/2

x = -3

x-int: (-3,0)
