What are the X and Y intercepts of the graph of question 5 x - 6y = 16
To find the x-intercept, we set y = 0 and solve for x.
When y = 0, the equation becomes:
x - 6(0) = 16
x - 0 = 16
x = 16
Therefore, the x-intercept is 16.
To find the y-intercept, we set x = 0 and solve for y.
When x = 0, the equation becomes:
0 - 6y = 16
-6y = 16
y = 16/-6
y = -8/3
Therefore, the y-intercept is -8/3.
