Question 443736
List (a) the coordinates of any y-intercept and (b) the coordinates of any x-intercept. Do not graph.
−5x + 6y = 100 
.
set x=0 to find y-intercept:
−5x + 6y = 100 
−5(0) + 6y = 100 
0 + 6y = 100 
y = 100/6
y = 50/3
y-intercept is at (0, 50/3)
.
set y=0 to find x-intercept:
−5x + 6y = 100 
−5x + 6(0) = 100 
−5x + 0 = 100 
x = -20
x-intercept is at (-20, 0)
