Find the x-intercept of the line 5x+17y=

Question

–
25

Answer 1

To find the x-intercept of the line given by the equation $5x+17y=-25$, we set $y=0$ and solve for $x$.

Starting with the equation:

$$5x+17(0)=-25$$

This simplifies to:

$$5x=-25$$

Now, divide both sides by 5:

$$x=-5$$

Thus, the x-intercept of the line is at the point $(-5,0)$.
