3x-5y=25

find the x and y intercepts.

2 answers

Set x = 0 and solve for y.
Set y=0 and solve for x.
another way is...
you can substitute the x and try to solve for y.
what can 5 go to?
5,10,15,20...
so if x=2 then the equation will be
6-5y=25
however -5y cant go to 19
so try another number
at the end, you will have x=5
there, 15-5y=25
-5y=10
y=-2
i hope you understand the idea of it
