Answer: Check out the image attached below
y intercept = (0,15)
x intercept = (24,0)
================================================
Explanation:
The y intercept always occurs when x = 0.
Plug in x = 0 and solve for y.
5x+8y = 120
5(0)+8y = 120
8y = 120
y = 120/8
y = 15
The y intercept is located at (x,y) = (0,15)
-------------------
On the flip side, the x intercept always happens when y = 0.
5x+8y = 120
5x+8(0) = 120
5x = 120
x = 120/5
x = 24
The x intercept's location is (x,y) = (24,0)
