What are the intercepts of : #y= - 6/5x + 6 #? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Intercepts and the Cover-Up Method 1 Answer sankarankalyanam Apr 14, 2018 #color(brown)("x-intercept " = 5, " y-intercept " = 6# Explanation: #y = -(6/5) x + 6# # " equation is in slope - intercept form " y = mx + c # #"As c is the y-intercept, " c = 6# When y = 0, we get the x-intercept. #:. 0 = -(6/5) x + 6# #(6/5) x = 6 " or " x = (cancel6 * 5 ) / cancel6 = 5# #:. " x-intercept " = a = 5# #color(crimson)("Intercept form of equation is " x / 5 + y/6 = 1# Answer link Related questions How do you use the cover-up method to solve for the x and y intercept?
