The required x and y-intercept of the given line is -3 and -6/5 respectively.

<h3>What is the slope of the line?</h3>

The slope of the line is the tangent angle made by line with horizontal. i.e. m =tanx where x in degrees.

Here,
The given equation of the line is 2x+5y=-6.
Transform into standard form of line .i.e is y = mx + c

5y = -2x - 6
y = -2x/5 - 6/5
here , m = -2/5 and c = -6/5
Since c = y-intercept of the line = -6/5
Now, put y = 0 in the equation of the line.
2x = -6
x = -3

Thus, the required x and y-intercept of the given line is -3 and -6/5 respectively.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The right triangle on the right side of the figure has a height of 6 (two same sides lengths) and a base of 3.

x is the hypotenuse (side opposite of 90 degree angle).

We can use the pythagorean theorem to find x. The pythagorean theorem tells us to square each leg (height and base) of the triangle and add it. It should be equal to the hypotenuse square.

For this triangle it means, we square 6 and 3 and add it. It should be equal to x squared. Then we can solve. Shown below:

$6^2 + 3^2 = x^2\\36 + 9 = x^2\\45 = x^2\\x=\sqrt{45}$
