Find the x- and y- intercepts, if any, of y=18−25xy = 18 - \frac { 2 } { 5 } xy=18−52x .
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=18−52x , 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=18−52(0)=18 .
