Question

What’s the x intercept and y intercept of 6x-5y=20

Answer 1

To find each intercept, set the other variable equal to 0.

Let's find x first.

6x - 5(0) = 20

6x = 20

Divide both sides by 6.

x = 3.33

Now let's find y.

6(0) - 5y = 20

-5y = 20

Divide both sides by -5.

y = -4

The x intercept is 3.33

The y intercept is -4.
