Question

Given the equation 5x+6y=30, what are the x amd y intercepts?

Answer 1

To find the x-intercept, we can set y=0 in the equation and solve for x:
5x + 6(0) = 30
5x = 30
x = 30/5
x = 6
So the x-intercept is at the point (6, 0).

To find the y-intercept, we can set x=0 in the equation and solve for y:
5(0) + 6y = 30
6y = 30
y = 30/6
y = 5
So the y-intercept is at the point (0, 5).
