Question

Find the x and y intercepts and graph the equation plotting the intercepts. Please show all of your work.
-5x + 8y = -40

Answer 1

x-intercept y=0
-5x=-40
x=8
x-intercept=(8,0)

y-intercept x=0
8y=40
y=5
y-intercept=(5,0)

Answer 2

-5x + 8y = -40
-5x+8(0)=-40
x=8 (8,0)

-5x + 8y = -40
-5(0)+8y=-40
y=5 (0,5)

Answer 3

@cwtan y intercept should be 0,5

Answer 4

thank you both tons!! I don't get this stuff very well. I appreciate it

Answer 5

to get x int. change y=0,
to get y int. change x=0

Answer 6

ohh! ok! thank you!

Answer 7

Oops~

Answer 8

it is a line

Answer 9

ohh I see what you mean there. This stuff is just confusing, especially coming to finding slopes and things. i appreciate all the help!
