Question

Graph this function using intercepts: 27x–15y=1,350. Provide x and y intercepts

Answer 1

Answer:

graph attached

Step-by-step explanation:

27x - 15y = 1350

15y = 27x -1350

y = 27/15 x - 1350/15

y = 9/5 x - 90

y = mx + b     y intercept (b) = -90

y=0  x = 90 * 5/9 = 50   x intercept

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function

• 27x – 15y = 1350

Easy way to find x- and y-intercepts and graph the line:

x-intercept found when y = 0

• 27x - 15*0 = 1350
• 27x = 1350
• x = 1350/27
• x = 50

y-intercept found when x = 0

• 27*0 - 15y = 1350
• -15y = 1350
• y = -1350/15
• y = - 90

So the points are:

• (0, -90) and (50, 0)

Plot these two points on a coordinate plane and connect with a line
