Question

What are the x- and y – intercepts of the following equation: y = -0.05x + 16


(16, 0), (0, 320)

(0, 16), (32, 0)

(0, 16), (320, 0)

(16, 0), (-320, 0)

Answer 1

the method for finding intercepts is, if you think about it you can just substitute. when x = 0 what is the y value, and when y= 0 solve for x

Answer 2

the simplest one is when x = 0 because that leaves
y = 0 +16 so y = 16

now when y = 0
0 = -.05x +16

Answer 3

and also a function in the form of y=mx+b (like you have) the 'b" is simply your y intercept, (when x=0)

Answer 4

precisely . which happens when x=0

Answer 5

do you know how to solve
0=0.05x +16 for x?

Answer 6

the numbers bellow are the answers i can use i understand what your trien to say but hpw do i get the answer?

Answer 7

the answers are giving you the ordered pairs for the answer. for example
as shown above when x=0 y=16 so the answer for the x intercept is (0,16) and if you solve for when y=0 your answer will be of the form (x value, 0) and that x value is when was solved for when y=0
