Question 1094141
please help me solve this question: What are the intercepts of 5x+y=−5​? Graph the equation.
<pre>Set y = 0 for the x-intercept
5x + y = - 5 
5x + 0 = - 5 ------- Substituting 0 for y
5x = - 5
x = {{{matrix(1,3, (- 5)/5, "=", - 1)}}}
{{{highlight_green(matrix(1,3, "x-intercept:", "(- 1,", "0)"))}}}

5x + y = - 5 
     {{{matrix(1,4, y, "=", - 5x, highlight(- 5))}}} 
b (y-intercept) = - 5
{{{highlight_green(matrix(1,3, "y-intercept:", "(0,", "- 5)"))}}}
Plot these 2 intercepts, join the points and you'll have your graph.
