For each linear equation, find the xand y-intercepts of the line and the slope.

Question

3(y-1)=-5

I was not given an x variable, I am very confused.

Answer 1

Is there an x missing here?  As written the line is horizontal (slope = 0) :  y intercept = -2/3    no x-intercept

 

If the equation should have been 3(y-1)=-5x, then the slope would be -5/3, the y intercept is 1, and the x intercept is 3/5

 

To find the y intercept, replace x with 0 and solve for y.  To find the x intercept, replace y with 0 and solve for x.
