Problema Solution

Find the x and y intercepts and graph -10x+3y=-30 by plotting the intercepts. Please show all of your work. Submit your graph to the Dropbox.

Answer provided by our tutors

x-intercept is x value when y=0

so -10x+3(0) = -30

-10x + 0 = -30

-10x = -30

x = 3

so (3,0) is the x-intercept. go over to the right 3 on the x-axis to plot this point

y-intercept is y-value when x=0 so

-10(0) + 3y = -30

0 + 3y = -30

3y = -30

y = -10

so (0,-10) is the y-intercept. go down 10 spaces on the y-axis to plot this point
