Question

Find the x- and y-intercepts for the following equation.
−2x + 3y = 15
x-intercept (x, y) =
y-intercept (x, y) =




,

Answer 1

you can find the x intercept by subbing in 0 for y and you can find the y intercept by subbing in 0 for x.

x intercept :
-2x + 3y = 15
-2x + 3(0) = 15
-2x = 15 (divide by -2)
x = -15/2
x intercept = (-15/2,0)

y intercept :
-2x + 3y = 15
-2(0) + 3y = 15
3y = 15 (divide by 3)
y = 5
y intercept = (0,5)

Answer 2

how do i graph -15/2 , 0

Answer 3

you can turn it into a mixed number....-15/2 = - 7 1/2...that will make it easier to graph

Answer 4

so your x intercept is (-7 1/2, 0) if that makes it easier to graph

Answer 5

Find the x- and y-intercepts for the following equation.

y = 2x + 4
x-intercept (x, y) = (, )
y-intercept (x, y) = (, )
