Question

Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept from the following linear equation: 12x + 10y = 60

Answer 1

The given linear equation is expressed as

12x + 10y = 60

The x intercept is the value of x when y = 0

If we substitute y = 0 into the equation, it becomes

12x + 10 * 0 = 60

12x = 60

x = 60/12

x = 5
