Question

Find x and y intercepts from the equation of the line 3x+ y=15

Answer 1

3x+y = 15

To find the x intercept, let y = 0 and solve for x

3x+0 = 15

3x = 15

Divide by 3

3x/3 =15/3

x = 5

The x intercept is (5,0)

To find the y intercept, let x =0 and solve for y

3(0) +y = 15

0+y = 15

y = 15

The y intercept is (0,15)
