Algebra.Com's Answer #16102 by Nate(3500)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! To find the x-intercept, you plug 0 in for the y value. \n" ); document.write( "5x-6y= -15 (original equation) \n" ); document.write( "5x=-15 (0 times -6 gives you 0) \n" ); document.write( "x=-3 (divide by 5) \n" ); document.write( "the x-intercept is -3 \n" ); document.write( "To find the y-intercept, you plug 0 in for the x value. \n" ); document.write( "5x-6y= -15 (original equation) \n" ); document.write( "-6y=-15 (0 times 5 gives you 0) \n" ); document.write( "y=15/6 (divide by -6) \n" ); document.write( "the y-intercept is 15/6 \n" ); document.write( " |
