To find an x-intercept, set y = 0

I don't understand :[ Sorry

anonymous · Answer

0 = 5x - 1
solve for x it is really basic algebra.

anonymous · Answer

Ty, and I was never good at any math really :[ I suck at it, I'm here for help on it.

anonymous · Answer

Can you solve for x above?

Look at the graph at link: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=y+%3D+5x+-+1 You'll see an x-intercept of 1/5 and a y-intercept of -1.
