Question

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of x + 5y = 6 state your answer as whole numbers or as improper fractions in simplest form

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=-\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{6}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for x.

$x+5y=6$

Step 1: Add -5y to both sides.

$x+5y+-5y=6+-5y$

$x=-5y+6$

Answer:

$x=-5y+6$

Let's solve for y.

$x+5y=6$

Step 1: Add -x to both sides.

$x+5y+-x=6+-x$

$5y=-x+6$

Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.

$\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{-x+6}{5}$

$y=\frac{-1}{5} x+\frac{6}{5}$

Answer:

$y=\frac{-1}{5} x+\frac{6}{5}$
