How do you find the x-intercepts to the equation y=(3/x-5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Set y = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then solve!

thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Np

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait but then the equation doesnt equal itself so does that mean that there are no x-intercepts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you mean doesn't equal itself?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you do (3/x-5)=0 you get 8=0 which cant happen so then there isnt any x-intercepts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh right, I see what you mean, and yup you're right! No, x - intercepts!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you!
