Other than graphing, how do you find the x and y intercepts of the equation x=y+5?

Answer 1

x-int: plug 0 in for y
y-int: plug 0 in for x

Answer 2

The x intercept is the point on the x-axis where the line crosses the x axis. The line crosses the x-axis when the value of y is 0. So just plug in 0 for y in the equation.

you get X=5

The y intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis. If you stare at a graph long enough, you will see that this happens where x=0. So. rearange the equation to get y by its self... x-5 = y and plug in 0 for x. -5 = y

Answer 3

The x intercept is where y=0. So you replace y with 0 and solve for x. The y intercept is where x=0, so you set x at 0 and solve for y.

In this case:

x incercept: x=0+5
x=5
so the x intercept is (5,0)

y intercept: 0=y+5
-5=y

so y intercept is (0,-5)

Answer 4

to find the x-intercept, set y=0, so in this case the x-intercept=5
tofind the y-intercept, set x=0 so the y-intercept=-5

Answer 5

You can substitute a zero in place of x and y and solve.

0=y+5 subtract 5 from both sides
-5=y

x=0+5
x=5

Hope that helps

Answer 6

The X intercept will be at Y=0
The Y intercept will be at X=0

Solve for whichever variable you don't know.

Answer 7

you substitute x and y with 0 in the equation and get the intercepts.

when x=0,
0=y+5
y=-5

So at x=0, y=-5

when y=0,
x=5

So at y=0, x=5

Answer 8

x=y+5.,,,y=x-5

Answer 9

problem solving. plug 0 in for y and solve for x.
Plug 0 in for x to solve for y.

x=0+5
....0+5=0
x=0

you have now solved for x

do same for y

0=y+5 subtract 5 from both sides
-5=y

Answer 10

to find y set x equal to zero. then do the same for x by setting y equal to zero.
