Question

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of x + 6y = 40. State each answer as an
integer or an improper fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

Y intercept: 20/3, x intercept: 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

You set the equation into slope-intercept form: x+6y=40=6y=-x+40=y=-1/6x+20/3. The y intercept is the constant. The x intercept is when the y is zero: 0=-1/6x+20/3, x=40.
