Question

Find the intercepts of the line.y=−5x−17

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -5x - 17

in y = mx + b form, the y int is in the m position

y = mx + b

y = -5x - 17......so the y int (b) = -17 or (0,-17) <=== y intercept

u can also find the y intercept by subbing in 0 for x and solving for y

u can find the x intercept by subbing in 0 for y and solving for x

y = -5x - 17

0 = -5x - 17

5x = -17

x = -17/5......so the x intercept is -17/5 or (0,-17/5) <==== x intercept
