Find the x and y Intercepts x+y=5

Problem

x+y=5

Solution

1. Find the x-intercept by setting y=0 in the equation.

x+0=5

x=5

2. Find the y-intercept by setting x=0 in the equation.

0+y=5

y=5

3. State the coordinates for both intercepts.

x-intercept: *(5,0)

y-intercept: *(0,5)

Final Answer

x-intercept: *(5,0), y-intercept: *(0,5)
