Question

Find the y-intercept and the x-intercept for the equation-25x+y=15

What is the y-intercept?
(Type an ordered pair)

What is the x-intercept?
(Type an ordered pair. Type integers or fractions for coordinates.

Answer 1

x-intercept occurs at y = 0. thus from the given equation, we set y = 0:
-25x + y = 15
-25x = 15
x = -3/5
thus x-intercept is at (-3/5 , 0)

y-intercept occurs at x = 0. thus from the given equation, we set x = 0:
-25x + y = 15
y = 15
thus y-intercept is at (0 , 15)

hope this helps~ :)
