Question

What are the intercepts of `5x-5y=-7`?

Answer 1

First, convert to slope intercept form

Explanation:

• 5y = -7 - 5x

y = x + `7/5`

The Y intercept is at (0, `7/5`)

In order to find the X intercept plug in 0 for y into the original equation.

5x - 5(0) = -7

x = `-7/5`

The X intercept is at (`-7/5`,0)
