Graph this line using intercepts: 5x + 9y = 45 Click to select points on the graph.

Graph this line using intercepts:
5x + 9y = 45
Click to select points on the graph.

Answer

To graph the line using intercepts, find the x-intercept and y-intercept:

  1. X-intercept: Set y = 0 in the equation 5x + 9y = 45.
    5x + 9(0) = 45
    5x = 45
    x = 9
    The x-intercept is (9, 0).
  2. Y-intercept: Set x = 0 in the equation 5x + 9y = 45.
    5(0) + 9y = 45
    9y = 45
    y = 5
    The y-intercept is (0, 5).

Plot the points (9, 0) and (0, 5) on the graph and draw a line through them to graph the equation.
