What are the intercepts of #3x-5y=25#? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Intercepts and the Cover-Up Method 1 Answer Ujjwal Mar 4, 2018 #x- "intercept" = 25/3# #y- "intercept" = -5# Explanation: #3x-5y=25# For finding #x#-intercept , put #y=0#. #=> 3x -5(0)=25# #=> 3x = 25# #=> x=25/3# We got #x#-intercept #=25/3#. For finding #y#-intercept , put #x=0#. #=> 3(0)-5y=25# #=> -5y=25# #=> y=-5# We got #y#-intercept #=-5#.
