Question

The graph shows the monthly revenue in millions of dollars of a growing company after the company doubled its advertising. Use the graph to solve the problem. 
-10x - 2y = -6 
A) $x$-intercept $= \frac { 3 } { 5 } ; y$-intercept $= 3$ 
B) $x$-intercept $= - \frac { 3 } { 5 } ; y$-intercept $= - 3$ 
C) $x$-intercept $= - \frac { 3 } { 5 } ; y$-intercept $= 3$ 
D) $x$-intercept $= 3 ; y$-intercept $= - \frac { 3 } { 5 }$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x: 10x = -6, so x = -3/5. To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 and solve for y: -2y = -6, so y = 3.
