1)6x+11y=30
A) x-intercept= (-24,0);y intercept =(0,19)
B)x-intercept=(0,1/5);y intercept=(11/30,0)<<<<
C)x-intercept= (5,0);y intercept=(0,30/11)
D)x-intercept= (24,0);y intercept=(0,19)
Not B, that's for sure. The x-intercept is where y=0. Plug that in and you get
6x=30
Similarly, if x=0, we get
11y = 30
The values in B are the reciprocals of the true answers.
To find the x-intercept and y-intercept of the equation 6x + 11y = 30, we need to substitute 0 for one variable and solve for the other variable.
For the x-intercept, we substitute y = 0 into the equation:
6x + 11(0) = 30
This simplifies to:
6x = 30
Dividing both sides by 6, we get:
x = 5
So the x-intercept is (5, 0).
For the y-intercept, we substitute x = 0 into the equation:
6(0) + 11y = 30
This simplifies to:
11y = 30
Dividing both sides by 11, we get:
y = 30/11
So the y-intercept is (0, 30/11).
Looking at the answer choices:
A) x-intercept = (-24, 0); y-intercept = (0, 19)
B) x-intercept = (0, 1/5); y-intercept = (11/30, 0) <<<<
C) x-intercept = (5, 0); y-intercept = (0, 30/11)
D) x-intercept = (24, 0); y-intercept = (0, 19)
The correct answer is B), which matches our calculations for the x-intercept and y-intercept of the equation 6x + 11y = 30.
