How do we find the x-intercept of 3x + 2y = 6? Set y = 0 and solve the resulting equation for x:
3x + 0 = 6, or x = 2. The x-intercept is then (0, 2).
y-intercept? Do the same thing, except set x = 0 and solve for y:
3(0) + 2y = 6, or y = 3. The y-int is then (0,3).
You will see problems of this type over and over in algebra, so it'd be best that you learn how to do them now.
B
If you need help to visualize it, think of 48 circles. Circle groups of 6 circles. Grouping the circles, is the same as plain dividing 48 by 6 without the pictures.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-5y = -4x + 5
5y = 4x - 5
y = 4/5x - 1
perp. -5/4
y - 3 = -5/4(x - 5)
y - 3 = -5/4x + 25/4
y - 12/4 = -5/4x + 25/4
y = -5/4x + 37/4
