Question

What are the intercepts of `x-5y=-12`?

Answer 1

`(-12,0)` is your x-intercept
`(0,12/5)` is your y-intercept

Explanation:

For x-intercept, let `y=0`

ie `x-5y=-12`
`x-5(0)=-12`
`x=-12`
`(-12,0)` is your x-intercept

For y-intercept, let `x=0`

ie `x-5y=-12`
`0-5y=-12`
`y=12/5`
`(0,12/5)` is your y-intercept
