Question

Y=-10x-75How do I get the x-intercept of this linear equation

Answer 1

$y=-10x-75$

In order to find the x-intercept, we must make y equal to 0.

$0=-10x-75$

then, clear the equation for x

$\begin{gathered} 10x=-75 \\ x=-\frac{75}{10} \\ x=-7.5 \end{gathered}$

The x-intercept of the linear equation is (-7.5,0)
