Find the x- and y- intercepts, if any, of y=18−25xy = 18 - \frac { 2 } { 5 } xy=1852x .

A) x- intercept at -45 , y- intercept at 18
B) x- intercept at 18 , y- intercept at 45
C) x- intercept at 45 , y- intercept at 18
D) x- intercept at -18, y- intercept at 45
E) no intercepts

X-intercept

The point at which a graph intersects the x-axis.

Y-intercept

The point where a graph crosses the y-axis, represented by the coordinates (0,y).

  • Ascertain and interpret the points where linear and non-linear equations cross the x and y axes.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x: 0=18−25x0 = 18 - \frac{2}{5}x0=1852x , which gives x=45x = 45x=45 . To find the y-intercept, set x = 0: y=18−25(0)=18y = 18 - \frac{2}{5}(0) = 18y=1852(0)=18 .
