3x-5y=25
find the x and y intercepts.
Set x = 0 and solve for y.
Set y=0 and solve for x.
another way is...
you can substitute the x and try to solve for y.
what can 5 go to?
5,10,15,20...
so if x=2 then the equation will be
6-5y=25
however -5y cant go to 19
so try another number
at the end, you will have x=5
there, 15-5y=25
-5y=10
y=-2
i hope you understand the idea of it
To find the x-intercept, we need to determine the value of x when y is zero. This means setting y equal to zero and solving for x. Let's do that:
3x - 5(0) = 25
3x = 25
x = 25/3
So, the x-intercept is x = 25/3.
Now, to find the y-intercept, we need to determine the value of y when x is zero. This means setting x equal to zero and solving for y. Let's do that:
3(0) - 5y = 25
-5y = 25
y = -25/5
y = -5
So, the y-intercept is y = -5.
Therefore, the x-intercept is 25/3 and the y-intercept is -5.
