Question

What’s the x and y intercept of 8x+5y=-48

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$8x + 5y = - 48 \\ \\ at \: x = 0 \\ \\ 8 \times 0 + 5y = - 48 \\ \\ \therefore \: 5y = - 48 \\ \\ \therefore \: y = \frac{ - 48}{5} \\ \\ \therefore \: y - intercept = - 9.6 \\ \\ at \: y = 0 \\ \\ 8 x + 5 \times 0 = - 48 \\ \\ \therefore \:8x = - 48 \\ \\ \therefore \: x = \frac{ - 48}{8} \\ \\ \therefore \: x - intercept = -6$
