Question

Determine the intercepts of the line.
Do not round your answers.
Y=5x-13

Answer 1

y intercept:(0,-13)
x intercept: (13/5,0)

Explanation:

The way we find intercepts (both x and y) is to plug in zero.

x int:

We set y to 0:

0=5x-13

add thirteen to both sides

13=5x

x=13/5

y int:

set x to zero

y=5(0)-13

y= - 13
