Algebra.Com's Answer #326499 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! What is the x intercept of y=(-3/4)x+5? \n" ); document.write( "Let y = 0 and solve for \"x\": \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "(-3/4)x = -5 \n" ); document.write( "x = -5(-4/3) \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "x = 20/3 is the x-intercept \n" ); document.write( "----------------- \n" ); document.write( "Graph: \n" ); document.write( "Let x = 0, then y = 5 giving you (0,5) \n" ); document.write( "Let x = 4, then y = 2 giving you (4,2) \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Plot those two points and draw a line thru them \n" ); document.write( "to get: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "============================================ \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "stan h. \n" ); document.write( " |
