Question 466671: please help me with this algebra graphing question.
Do not graph but list the coordinates of any y intercept and any x intercept.
10x - 3y =60

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
10x - 3y = 60

To find the x-intercept, put 0 in for y:
10x - 3(0) = 60 {substituted 0 in for y}
10x = 60 {multiplied -3 by 0}
x = 6 {divided both sides by 10}
x-intercept is 6....coordinates are (6,0)

To find the y-intercept, put 0 in for x:
10(0) - 3y = 60 {substituted 0 in for x}
-3y = 60 {multiplied 10 by 0}
y = -20 {divided both sides by -3}
y-intercept is -20....coordinates are (0,-20)
