Question

Identify the correct x-intercept and y-intercept of the equation 15x - 5y = 30.

Answer 1

x-intercept = (-2, 0); y-intercept = (0, 6)

x-intercept = (2, 0); y-intercept = (0, -6)

x-intercept = (0, -6); y-intercept = (2, 0)

x-intercept = (0, 6); y-intercept = (-2, 0)

Answer 2

15x-5y = 30
-5y = 30-15x
y = 3x-6

y = 3(0)-6
y = 0-6
y = -6, (0,6)

(0) = 3x-6
0 = 3x-6
-3x = -6
x = 2, (2,0)

Solution: x-intercept = (2,0); y-intercept = (0,-6)
