Find the x and y intercepts of the line: -2x + 5y=30
Responses x-intercept is 5; y-intercept is negative 5 x-intercept is 5; y-intercept is negative 5 x-intercept is 15; y-intercept is negative 4 x-intercept is 15; y-intercept is negative 4 x-intercept is negative 2; y-intercept is 5 x-intercept is negative 2; y-intercept is 5 x-intercept is negative 15; y-intercept is 6 x-intercept is negative 15; y-intercept is 6
To find the x-intercept, we set y = 0 and solve for x:
-2x + 5(0) = 30
-2x = 30
x = -15
Therefore, the x-intercept is -15.
To find the y-intercept, we set x = 0 and solve for y:
-2(0) + 5y = 30
5y = 30
y = 6
Therefore, the y-intercept is 6.
So the correct answer is:
x-intercept is -15; y-intercept is 6.
