Question

find the x and y intercept of y=(3/5)x+5

Answer 1

In y = mx + b form, the y intercept is in the b position.
y = mx + b
y = 3/5x + 5.....so the y intercept is 5 or (0,5)

to find the x intercept, sub in 0 for y
y = 3/5x + 5
0 = 3/5x + 5
-3/5x = 5
x = 5/(-3/5)
x = 5 * - 5/3
x = - 25/3....so the x intercept is (-25/3,0)
