Concept explainers

Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

To calculate: Any intercepts of the equation expressed as y=5x−8.

Answer to Problem 1RE

Solution:

It is established that the required x−intercept and y-intercept are (85,0) and (0,−8) respectively.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given equation is expressed as, y=5x−8.

Calculation:

The given equation is,

y=5x−8.

For the x-intercept, put y is equal to zero.

0=5x−85x=8x=85

The x−intercept is (85,0).

For the y-intercept, put x is equal to zero.

y=5(0)−8y=−8

The y−intercept is (0,−8).

Hence, the required x−intercept and y-intercept are (85,0) and (0,−8) respectively.
