Question 75673: Find the x and y intercepts of a line whose equation is y= -3/5X +2
Answer by checkley75(3666) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Y=-3X/5+2
SETTING Y=0 WE GET
0=-3X/5+2
-3X/5=-2 CROSS MULTIPLYING WE GET
-3X=-10
X=-10/-3
X=10/3 THUS THE X INTERCEPT IS (10/3,0)
NOW SET X=0 & WE GET
Y=-3*0/5+2
Y=2 THUS THE Y INTERCEPT IS (0,2)
(graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, y = -3x/5 +2).
