SOLUTION: Find the x-intercept and the y- intercept of the graph of the equation. 5x+10y=30 9y-5x =20 8x-2y=16 7x+8y=18 2y-12=-6 2x-0.5y=8 4x-6y=-24 3(x+4y)=-2

Question 821734: Find the x-intercept and the y- intercept of the graph of the equation.
5x+10y=30
9y-5x =20
8x-2y=16
7x+8y=18
2y-12=-6
2x-0.5y=8
4x-6y=-24
3(x+4y)=-24
Y=-3x+12
Y=-2x-8
Thank you so much for the help you will/are providing me with I greatly appreciate it before hand this Is a great website recommended to me by a friend and I will of course do the same if it works for me thanks

I will do two of the more difficult ones for you, and you can do the rest:
---
first, you want to make sure the equation is in standard linear equation form, which is this:
ax + by = c
---
generally, a, b, and c may be positive, negative, or zero.
---
EQUATION 1:
---
in this case, we need to simplify:
3(x + 4y) = -24
---
3x + 12y = -24
---
and presto, it's now in standard linear equation form, with a=3, b=12, and c=-24
---
to solve the linear equation, copy and paste this:
3 12 -24
into the "Standard form: A B C" input box here: https://sooeet.com/math/linear-equation-solver.php
---
answer:
x-intercept = -8
y-intercept = -2
slope = -0.25
---
now that we have the above information, we can put the equation in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
where:
m = slope
b = y-intercept
NOTE: this b (y-intercept) is not the same as the b above (from the standard linear equation form)
---
so we have this now:
y = (-0.25)x + (-2)
y = -0.25x - 2
---
graph:
---

---
---
---
EQUATION 2:
---
y = -3x + 12
---
this one is already in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
where:
m = slope = -3
b = y-intercept = 12
---
to find the x-intercept just set y=0 and solve for x, like so:
y = -3x + 12
0 = -3x + 12
3x = 12
x = 4
x-intercept = 4
---
now to graphing:
---
graph:
---

---
---
---
as for the remaining equations, they are all solved by one or the other of the above methods.
