Question

find the y-intercept and the x-intercept for the equation
5x+3y=45
write an ordered pair

hyperpiper · Answer

okay so set up y=mx+b

hyperpiper · Answer

do you know what it is?

pphalke · Answer

how do i do that for the equation?

hyperpiper · Answer

move you 5x to the other side of the equation by subtracting it...
like this. now you will have 3y=-5x+45

hyperpiper · Answer

do you see what I did?

pphalke · Answer

yes i saw now what do i do to get the y and x intercept

hyperpiper · Answer

you will now want your y by itself. so how do you do that you think?

pphalke · Answer

hmm i dont know

Hey
I worked it out for you

hyperpiper · Answer

3y=-5x+45

divide everything by 3 so that the y ends up by itself
y=-5/3x+15
see?

hyperpiper · Answer

Now we have the equation to find the intercepts...okay, do I still have you?
