SOLUTION: what is the x & y intercept of y = 3x + 5

Question 125536: what is the x & y intercept of y = 3x + 5
Answer by HyperBrain(694) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To find the x-intercept, set y=0.
0=3x+5
3x+5=0
3x=-5
x=-5/3
So, the x-intercept is at (-5/3,0)
To find the y-intercept, set x=0,
y=3(0)+5
y=0+5
y=5
Thus, the y-intercept is at (0,5)
