Given the equation:
x + 5y = 5
Plot the intercept to the graph.
Solution:
Since we cannot directly plot to the graph, what we can do is to simply solve for the x and y-intercept. In order to solve for the x-intercept, we equate y to 0.
x + 5(0) = 5
x =5
In order to solve for the y-intercept, we equate x to 0, then divide both sides of the equation by 5.
0 + 5y = 5
5y/5 = 5/5
y = 1
Final answer:
x-intercept = 5
y-intercept = 1
