Question

Find the x- and y- intercepts of 5x+3y=15

Answer 1

divide whole equation by 15

Answer 2

you will get form
x/a+y/b=1

where a is x intercept
b is y intercept

Answer 3

x-intercept is where y=f(x)=0. Solve 5x+3y=15 for y in terms of x, then set = 0 and solve for the x-intercept.

y-intercept is where x = 0.

Answer 4

AravindG's approach works well, too!

Answer 5

My previous post ought to end with "y-intercept is value of y = f(0)"

Answer 6

ok thank you
