To find the intercepts, we can set the opposite variable equal to 0 and solve.
Let's find the x intercept first.
5x - 4(0) = -20
5x = -20
Divide both sides by 5.
x = -4
<h3>The x intercept is -4.</h3>
Now let's find the y intercept.
5(0) - 4y = -20
-4y = -20
Divide both sides by -4.
y = 5
<h3>The y intercept is 5.</h3>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
equivalent to 5/24 is 15/72 (multiply top and bottom by 3)
answer is d. 15/72
Place a point at (0,-5) because that is the y-intercept (the -5 on the vertical line)
Since the slope is negative two which can be re-written as -2/1 (rise/run) you go down two and to the right once or up two and to the left once, it doesn't matter which. Another point can be placed at (1,-7) or (-3,-1), it still doesn't matter which.
Then you can draw a line connecting the two points.
I hope this helps :)
