To answer this question, I assume that the equation is y = -12x - 5. The x -intercept of the equation is obtained by setting y equal to zero. 0 = -12x - 5 Thus, x = -5/12. Then, for the y-intercept, let x be equal to zero. y = -12(0) - 5 = -5
Thus, the x and y - intercepts are -5/12 and -5, respectively.
