Answer:

The x intercept is (-5,0)

The y intercept is (0,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x intercept we set y=0 and solve for x

3x+5y = -15

3x+0 = -15

3x = -15

Divide by 3

3x/3 = -15/3

x = -5

The x intercept is (-5,0)

To find the x intercept we set x=0 and solve for y

3x+5y = -15

0+5y = -15

5y = -15

Divide by 5

5y/5 = -15/5

y = -3

The y intercept is (0,-3)

Answer:

$\large\boxed{2a+14}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$4(a + 2 ) - 2 (a - 3)\qquad\text{use distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\=4a+8-2a-(-6)\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\=(4a-2a)+(8+6)\\\\=2a+14$

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Y=K×X...... equation

When,Y=8 and X=-5

To find the constant (K)

we substitute for K in the equation

8=K×-5

8=-5K divide both sides by -5

8÷-5=-5K÷-5

K=-1.6
