Assuming the denominator is x+5, this means that x+5 = 0 ---> x = -5 makes the denominator zero. We CANNOT divide by zero. So x can be any number you want but x cannot be equal to -5

Domain: Set of all real numbers but

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

To find the y-intercept, plug in x = 0 and evaluate

The y-intercept is (0, 0.8) or (0, 4/5)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

To find the x-intercept, plug in y = 0 and solve for x

The x-intercept is (4,0)
