To find the x-int replace y in the equation with 0.
To find the y-int replace x in the equation with 0.
x-int:
y=%281%2F5%29x%2B6
o=%281%2F5%29x%2B6
-6=%281%2F5%29x
-6%2A%285%2F1%29=%281%2F5%29x%2A%285%2F1%29
-30=x so (-30,0) is the x-int.
y-int:
y=%281%2F5%29x%2B6
y=%281%2F5%29%280%29%2B6
y=0%2B6
y=6 so (0,6) is the y-int.
