Question 145722: Please help me solve this equation im struggling in algebra
(this is really slope intercept form of an equation)
[y = 800x + 5]
What is the y-intercept from the data?
What is the x-intercept from the data?

Answer by rapaljer(4671) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = 800x + 5

The y-intercept is the point where x=0. In this case, if x=0, then y=5.

The x-interept is the point where y=0. In this case, if y=0, then
0=800x+5
-5=800x
x=-5/800=-1/160

For additional help please see my website by clicking on my tutor name "rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com. Look for the second link on my homepage which is "Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time." Choose "Basic Algebra", then "Chapter 4 Graphing." This lesson is "Section 4.03 Graphing by the Intercept Method." My own students used this book for about 20 years, and they unanimously proclaimed that it was easier to understand than any other book they ever used!! I hope you like it. See also the "MATH IN LIVING COLOR" pages that are linked to these sections.
