Question

Find the x-intercept
-5x+8y=18

Answer 1

x intercept is where the line crosses the x axis

Answer 2

so it is the place where y = 0, because at the crossing point, y is equal 0.

So in your problem, evaluate the expression with y = 0, and solve for the x term

Answer 3

So would I multiply 8(0) since y = 0?
That's what's been throwing me off
