Question

What are the x- and y-intercepts of the line 6x−y=10?

Answer 1

Explanation:

This equation is in Standard Form. To find the x and y intercepts, it is easier to convert it to slope-intercept form, or y = mx + b.

6x - y = 10

-y = -6x + 10

y = 6x - 10

In slope-interecept form, you can see that the y-int, b, is -10, the constant. To find x, set y to zero.

0 = 6x - 10

10 = 6x

10/6 = x

5/3 = x
