Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the graph of the equation. 5x + 6y = 30

Answer 1

5x+ 6y = 30

solve for y to get the y intercept

6y = -5x + 30

y =-5x/6 + 30/6. 30/6 = 5 = the y intercept

or just set x=0 and solve for y

5x+6y = 30

0 +6y = 30

y=30/6 = 5 = the y intercept = the point (0,5)

solve for x to find the x intercept

5x = 30-6y

x = 30/5 -6y/5 = 6-6y/5 6 = the x intercept

or just set y=0 and solve for x

5x+6y = 30

5x +0 = 30

x = 30/5 = 6 = the x intercept = the point (6,0)
