Question

What is a possible equation for a function with an x-intercept of (-5,0) and a y-intercept of (0,3)?

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation of a straight line is

-3 x+5 y=15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given x - intercept of (-5,0) and y- intercept is (0,3)

here (-5,0 ) point lie on x- axis and (0,3) this point lie on y- axis

we know that the x- intercept  'a' and y- intercept 'b'  formula is

$\frac{x}{a} +\frac{y}{b} = 1$

so given x - intercept a =-5 and y- intercept is b= 3

now the straight line equation is $\frac{x}{-5} +\frac{y}{3} =1$

now simplify $\frac{-3 x+5 y}{15} =1$

$-3 x+5 y=15$
