Question

find the y intercept and x intercept for the equation 5x+2y=30

Answer 1

1. Set y = 0, then solve for x
2. Set x = 0, then solve for y

Answer 2

5x - 2y = 30
5(0) - 2y = 30
y = -15 (y-intercept)

Take the equation, set y = 0, and solve for x to get the x-intercept

5x - 2(0) = 30
x = 6 (x-intercept)

Answer 3

y=0, x=6
x=0, y=-15

Answer 4

X and Y intercepts are when the x or y counterpart is equal to zero. So:

for the x-intercept:
2(0)=30-5x

for the y-intercept
5(0)=30-2y

Answer 5

5x+2y=30
y-intercept x=0
5(0)+2y=30
2y=30
y=15
x-intercept y=0
5x+2(0)=30
x=6
