Question

What are the intercepts of `-3x-10y=-6`?

Answer 1

`color(purple)("x-intercept " = a = 2, "y-intercept "= b = 3/5`

Explanation:

`-3x - 10y = -6`

`3x + 10y = 6, "multiply by "(- sign)" on both sides"`

`(3/6) x + (10/6) y = 1, " making R H S = 1"`

`x / (2 )+ y / (3/5) = 1, " to convert the equation in intercept form"`

`color(purple)("x-intercept " = a = 2, "y-intercept "= b = 3/5`

graph{-(3/10) x + (6/10) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
