Question

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of 8x−5y=30. State each answer as an integer or an improper fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

`\text{We have,}\\8x-5y=30\\\\\text{For x-intercept, } y=0.\\\therefore\ 8x-5(0)=30\\\text{or, }\ 8x=30\\\text{or, }\ x=15/4\\\\\text{For y-intercept, }x=0.\\\therefore\ 8(0)-5y=30\\\text{or, }\ -5y=30\\\text{or, }\ y=-6`
