Question

graph the equation using the x and y intercepts.

x/5-y/8=1

Answer 1

the equation is almost in the form: \(\large \frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1 \)
this is called the intercept form of a line where a is the x-intercept and b is the y-intercept.
can you rewrite it in this form to determine your x and y intercepts?
