Jaelyn took $45 with her to spend on popcorn and drinks for herself and her friends at the movie theater. The price for each bag of popcorn was $5. The price of each drink was $3. This can be represented by the equation 5x + 3y = 45, where x represents the number of bags of popcorn and y represents the number of drinks (this assumes she spends all $45).

What are the x- and y- intercepts of the graph?

x-intercept =

y-intercept =

x-intercept: (9, 0) (set y = 0 → 5x = 45 → x = 9)

y-intercept: (0, 15) (set x = 0 → 3y = 45 → y = 15)
