Question

What are the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the graph of y=−12x−5y=−12x−5 ? Enter your answers in the boxes. x-intercept: y-intercept: oh and i just want to say i pick my brainliest by the person who gives me the answer first and gets it right

Answer 1

Y = -12x - 5
x-intercept is the value when y = 0
i.e. 0 = -12x - 5
-12x = 5
x = -5/12
Thus, x-intercept = -5/12

y intercept is the value when x = 0
i.e. y = -12(0) - 5 = 0 - 5 = -5
Thus, y-intercept = -5
