Find the x and y intercepts of the line:

-2x + 5y = 30

A. x-intercept is negative 15; y-intercept is 6 B. x-intercept is negative 2; y- intercept is 5 C. x-intercept is 15; y-intercept is negative 4 D. x-intercept is 5; y-intercept is negative 5

1 answer

To find the x-intercept, we set y = 0 and solve for x:

-2x + 5(0) = 30
-2x = 30
x = -15

So the x-intercept is -15.

To find the y-intercept, we set x = 0 and solve for y:

-2(0) + 5y = 30
5y = 30
y = 6

So the y-intercept is 6.

Therefore, the x-intercept is -15 and the y-intercept is 6.

The correct answer is A. x-intercept is negative 15; y-intercept is 6.
