y-3=5(x-2)

Question

y-intercept
x-intercept

Answer 1

To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 and solve for y:

y - 3 = 5(0 - 2)
y - 3 = 5(-2)
y - 3 = -10
y = -10 + 3
y = -7

Therefore, the y-intercept is -7.

To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x:

0 - 3 = 5(x - 2)
-3 = 5(x - 2)
-3/5 = x - 2
-3/5 + 2 = x
7/5 = x

Therefore, the x-intercept is 7/5 or 1.4.
