Question

Determine the intercepts of the line.

Answer 1

Answer:

y- intercept = - 13 , x- intercept = $\frac{13}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y- intercept, substitute x = 0 into the equation and solve for y

y = 5(0) - 13 = 0 - 13 = - 13 ← y- intercept

To find the x- intercept substitute y = 0 into the equation and solve for x

0 = 5x - 13 ( add 13 to both sides )

13 = 5x ( divide both sides by 5 )

$\frac{13}{5}$ = x

x- intercept = $\frac{13}{5}$ = 2 $\frac{3}{5}$ = 2.6
