Question 1126788: Find the x- and y- intercepts (if they exist), and graph the line.
-x -y = 0

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the x-intercept will be at: (x,0)
and y- intercept will be at: (0,y)

-x+-y+=+0+.....set y=0 to find the x-intercept
-x+-0=+0
x=0+=>x-intercept is at: (0,0)

-x+-y+=+0+.....set x=0 to find the y-intercept
-1%2A0-y=0
y=0+=>y-intercept is at: (0,0)

since both intercepts at (0,0) means the line passes through origin
plot the points and draw a line through:
