Answer 1

Answer:

x  intercept  a = - 3

y - intercept $b = \frac{-6}{5}$

The  intercept form of the line equation is

 $\frac{x}{-3} + \frac{y}{\frac{-6}{5} } = 1$  

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given straight line 2 x + 5 y = - 6  

Dividing ' -6' on both sides , we get

     $\frac{2x}{-6} + \frac{5y}{-6} = 1$

on simplification , we get

   $\frac{x}{-3} + \frac{y}{\frac{-6}{5} } = 1$

The intercept form is  

    $\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1$

x  intercept  a = - 3

y - intercept $b = \frac{-6}{5}$
