Question

Determine the intercepts of the line.
Y-3=5(x-2)

Answer 1

x int = 7/5

y int = -7

Explanation:

y = 5x - 7

when x = 0

y = -7

when y = 0

-5x = -7

x = 7/5

Answer 2

Finding the x-intercept first:

5 (x - 2) = y - 3

5x - 10 = 0 - 3

5x - 10 = -3

5x = 7

x = 7/5 or 1.4

Solve for y

y - 3 = 5 (0 - 2)

y - 3 = 0 - 10

y - 3 = -10

y = - 7
