Question

How do you find the x and y intercept given `3x+8y=10`?

Answer 1

`"x-intercept "=10/3," y-intercept "=5/4`

Explanation:

`"to find the intercepts, that is where the graph crosses"`
`"the x and y axes"`

`• " let x = 0, in the equation for y-intercept"`

`• " let y = 0, in the equation for x-intercept"`
