Week 12 – X intercept and Y intercept

This week, we learned how to find X and Y intercepts, we use these to find out what Y is when X = 0 or vice versa. To find out what X intercept is set Y to 0. and solve.

If we have an equation like  3y = 5x + 15 we’ll replace with 3(0) = 5x + 15. now to solve this we will need to bring 15 to the opposite side. so the equation looks like -15 = 5x then to get rid of 5 we will need to divide 5 from each side. so we have -3 = x so the coordinate would be (-3, 0) simple.
