SOLUTION: "How do you find x and y intercepts to 5y = 20"

Question 619380: "How do you find x and y intercepts to 5y = 20"
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
equation is:
5y = 20
divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get:
y = 20/5 = 4
since x is not in the equation, x can be any value.
no matter what values of x you have, the value of y is always equal to 5.
the y intercept is the value of y when x is equal to 0.
when x is equal to 0, the value of y is 5.
the x intercept is the value of x when y is equal to 0.
since y is always equal to 5, there is no x intercept.
the graph of the equation of y = 5 is shown below:

as you can see, the value of y is always equal to 5 regardless of the value of x.
