What is the y and x intercept for f(x)=3x-2 find f(-5)
1 answer:
Answer: The y- intercept is -2. The x-intercept is 2/3
The attachment shows the solutions.
Step-by-step explanation: The y-intercept is the "b" term in the slope-intercept form of the equation. To find the x-intercept, substitute 0 for the output and solve for x.
0 = 3x -2 . Add 2 to both sides
2 = 3x . Divide both sides by 3
2/3 = x the x-intercept is 2/3
To find f(-5) substitute -5 for x and solve.
f(-5) = 3(-5) -2
f(-5) = -15 -2
f(-5) = -17
