Question

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

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

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

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

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

Answer 1

YOu should be able to eliminate 2 of the choices right away. Do you know which ones and why?

Answer 2

Think about what is ALWAYS true of the x-coordinate of the y-intercept, and what is ALWAYS true of the y-coordinate of the x-intercept.

Answer 3

to get x and y intercepts
set y=0 and solve for x
set x=0 and solve for y
