Answer 2

Arrange it in that form

Answer 3

The y-intercept is what y is when x = 0, so plug in x = 0 in the equation:

5x + 10y = 30
5(0) + 10y = 30
0 + 10y = 30
10y = 30
y = 3

Answer 4

The x-intercept is what x is when y = 0, so plug in y = 0 in the equation:

5x + 10y = 30
5x + 10(0) = 30
5x + 0 = 30
5x = 30
x = 6

So the y-intercept is (0, 3) and the x-intercept is (6, 0).
