Find the x- and y-intercepts of the equation x – 5y = –15. Question 16 options: A) x-intercept: (0,3), y-intercept: (–15,0) B) x-intercept: (0,–15), y-intercept: (3,0) C) x-intercept: (–15,0), y-intercept: (0,3) D) x-intercept: (3,0), y-intercept: (0,–15)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression x - 5y = -15

x intercept occurs at y = 0

Substituting y = 0 into the expression

x - 5(0) = -15

x - 0 = -15

x = -15

Hence the x-intercept occurs at (-15, 0)

y intercept occurs at x = 0

Substituting x = 0 into the expression

0 - 5y = -15

-5y = -15

y = -15/-5

y = 3

Hence the y-intercept is at (0, 3)

step-by-step explanation:

5x+40

5(x + 8)

7x - 49

7(x - 7)

18x + 9

9(2x + 1)

15x - 10

5(3x - 2)

step-by-step explanation:

for number one all you have to do is factor 5 out of 5x + 40

for number 2 factor 7 out of 7x - 49

for number three factor 9 out of 18x + 9

for number four factor 5 out of 15x - 10
