Answer:
Y-intercept is (0, -13)
X-intercept is at (13/5, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
When it's in this form, y = mx + b, you automatically know what the y-intercept is (b).
So the y-intercept is (0, -13)
To algebraically find this, you'd plug in a 0 for x, since the y intercept is when it crosses the y-axis, which is located at x = 0.
To find the x intercept, you'd do the opposite of the y-intercept, which is plugging in a 0 for y and solving for x. The x-axis is located at y = 0.
0 = 5x - 13
13 = 5x
x = 13/5
The x-intercept is at (13/5, 0)

In this question weight of a flea and an ant is given, but their units are different. So comparing and finding out the weight of flea and ant would be difficult. First thing that needs to be done is to bring the units of both the flea and the ant under same unit.
Weight of flea = 8 decigrams
Weight of ant = 3 milligrams.
Now let us convert the weight of the flea from decigrams to milligrams.
We already know that
1 decigram = 100 milligram
Then
8 decigrams = 100 * 8 milligrams
= 800 milligrams
Then
The weight by which the flea is greater than the ant = (800 - 3) milligrams
= 797 milligrams.
So the flea weighs 797 milligrams more than the ant.
