Question 220417: this is the equation i have infront of me y= 0.8x-5
they want me to find the slope,y and x intercept.
i found the slope and y intercept . i just forgot how to find the x intercept.
Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
when the line crosses the x-axis (x-intercept), the value of y is zero
so just substitute
0 = 0.8x - 5
5 = 0.8x
6.25 = x
x-intercept is (6.25, 0)
