Question 365913: I can't seem to determine the x and y intercepts of the following linear equations. What are the x and y intercepts?
y-3x=9
5-y=10x
y-2x=y-4
3y=9

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
For y - 3x = 9: This can be written as x%2F%28-3%29%2By%2F9+=+1. Therefore x-int is (-3,0) and y-int is (0,9).
for 5-y = 10x: This can be written as x%2F%281%2F2%29%2By%2F5+=+1. Therefore x-int is (1/2, 0) and y-int is (0,5).
for y-2x = y-4: This is the same as x = 2. There is no y-int as it is a vertical line, while the x-int is (2,0).
for 3y = 9: This is the same as y = 3. There is no x-int as it is a horizontal line, while the y-int is (0,3).
