Question 690249: how can i find the y-intercept and the x-intercept for the equation -15x + y = 65 Found 2 solutions by ReadingBoosters, josmiceli:Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Arrange as y=mx+b, slope-intercept form
-15x + y = 65
y = 15x + 65
...
The y intercept, b, is 65 or a a point (0, 65)
The x intercept is where y = 0
0 = 15x + 65
-65 = 15x
x = -65/15
x = -13/3 or as a point (-13/3, 0)
