what are the intercepts of the equation −3x−4=−5y−8

Question

I want to know what the intercepts are

Answer 1

Good Night Rohan.

 

you will be plugging in x=0 and Y=0

 

so, therefore -3(0)-4=-5y-8

-3(0) is equal to zero. 

 

-4=-5y-8

+8      +8

------------

4 = -5y

--    ---

-5     -5

 

y=-4/5

 

-3x-4=-5(0)-8

 

-5(0) is equal to 0

 

-3x-4=-8

     +4 +4

------------

-3x=-4

----  ---

-3    -3

 

x= 4/3

 

(4/3,-4/5)

(X,Y)
