Find the x- and y- intercepts for the graph of the following equation.
5x + 3y = -30

anonymous · Answer

To do this you just put 0 in for x to find the y and then after you found it go back to the problem and put 0 in for y to get the x

anonymous · Answer

x=(-6,0) y=(0,-10)

anonymous · Answer

To find the x-intercept, Let y = 0
5x + 3y = -30
5x + 3(0) = -30
5x = -30

5         5

x = -6 

(-6, 0)

To find the y-intercept, Let x = 0
5x + 3y = -30
5(0) + 3y = -30 
3y = -30 
---   ----
3          3

y = -10 

(0, -10)
