Question

Pls help!
What is the x intercept of y=-3x-5

Answer 1

First a question to help you understand the problem. When the given equation is drawn it makes a sloping straight line. What will the value of y be when the line cuts the x-axis?

Answer 2

You plug in 0 for y right?

Answer 3

So 5=-3x

Answer 4
