Question

What are the intercepts for the equation 3x - 5y =5

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the intercepts of the given equation, we can set either x or y to zero and solve for the other variable.

1. To find the x-intercept, set y = 0:
3x - 5(0) = 5
3x = 5
x = 5/3

Therefore, the x-intercept is (5/3, 0).

2. To find the y-intercept, set x = 0:
3(0) - 5y = 5
-5y = 5
y = -1

Therefore, the y-intercept is (0, -1).

In summary, the x-intercept is (5/3, 0) and the y-intercept is (0, -1).
