Explain why the line 2x+ 3 =5 only has one intercept?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Set, x=0, you well get (0,1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is no x intercept

Simplifying that equation, you get x=1. 2x=5-3 2x=2 x=1 This, when graphed, is just a vertical line that crosses the x axis at 1. It does not cross the y axis because it is a completely vertical line at x=1.

To correct LagrangeSon678, there is no *y-intercept*.
