Question 43666
5x-3y=30
The y-intercept is represented by the points (0, b).  This means that wherever the line crosses the y-axis, the value of x will automatically be zero and the value of y will be some integer.
.
The x-intercept is represented by the points (a, 0).  This means that wherever the line crosses the x-axis, the value of x will be some integer and the value of y will automatically be zero.

.
So to find the x or the y-intercept, plug-in zero for either x or y and solve for the missing variable:
.
5x-3y=30
Let x =0 and solve for y
5(0)-3y=30
-3y/-3=30/-3
y=-10
So, the y-intercept will be (0,-10).

5x-3y=30
Let y = 0 and solve for x
5x-3(0) =30
5x=30
x=6
So, the x-intercept will be (6, 0)
