Question

Graph the equation y=x−5 using the intercepts.

Answer 1

Answer:

See Graph below

Explanation:

Given the equation:

$y=x-5$

Step 1: First, find the intercepts.

When x=0:

$\begin{gathered} y=0-5 \\ y=-5 \end{gathered}$

• The y-intercept is (0,-5)

When y=0:

$\begin{gathered} 0=x-5 \\ x=5 \end{gathered}$

• The x-intercept is (5,0)

Step 2: Draw a line to join the intercepts (0,-5) and (5,0).
