Algebra.Com's Answer #708742 by addingup(3677) You can put this solution on YOUR website! There is one intercept, it's the point where x and y touch, or intercept. It's a dot on the graph. \n" ); document.write( "In your equation: \n" ); document.write( "5x+y = 5 \n" ); document.write( "y = -5x+5 set x to zero \n" ); document.write( "y = -5(0)+5 \n" ); document.write( "y = 5 \n" ); document.write( "now let's do x: \n" ); document.write( "5x+y = 5 \n" ); document.write( "5x = -y+5 we have one -y which is simplified as simply -y, but it is -1y \n" ); document.write( "5x = -1y+5 sex y to zero \n" ); document.write( "5x = -1(0)+5 \n" ); document.write( "5x = 5 \n" ); document.write( "x = 1 \n" ); document.write( "------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Now we have your ordered pair (1, 5) do a graph like this: \n" ); document.write( " |
