Question 93660: Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept. Then graph each equation.
x- intercept let y=0
y- intercept let x=0
Problem: y=5
I think that this means x is zero, but that only gives me one set of coordinates???? Does this mean that this isn't a line or do I need to do another step? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept. Then graph each equation.
x- intercept let y=0
y- intercept let x=0
Problem: y=5
-------------
y=5 can be written as y=0x+5
-------
To find the x-intercept, let y=0
Then 0 = 0x + 5
0 = 5
That is a contradiction and it means y cannot be zero;
there is no x intercept.
----------------
To find the y-intercept, let x=0
Then y = 0*0+5
y = 5
The y intercept is (0.5)
============================
Comment: y=5 graphs as a line parallel to the x axis and 5 units above it.
