Answer 2

Wait...It's Yx?

Answer 3

is that
\[Yx\]

Answer 4

?

Answer 5

You put Yx lol

Answer 6

is it supposed to be 6x...7x...?

Answer 7

To find the x-intercept, set y equal to zero:\[4x-5(0)=15\]and solve for x. That is where it intersects the x-axis.

Answer 8

And for the y-intercept, it's the same thing, but set x to zero:\[4(0)-5y=15\]and solve for y. That is where it intersects the y-axis.

Answer 9

Answer 10

We're basically left with:\[4x=15\]and \[-5y=15\] divide both sides of 4x=15 by 4 to get \[x=\frac{15}{4}\]divide both sides of -5y=15 by -5 to get \[y=-3\] Those are the intercepts.

Answer 11

Sorry had to walk my aunts dog so a intercept can be a fraction? Cool! Thanks
