Question

determine the x- and y-intercepts for the given function. write your answer as an ordered pair.
\\( s(x) = 5x - 15 \\)
if there is more than one answer, separate your answers with commas. select
one\ if appropriate.
part 1 of 2
x-intercept(s):
part 2 of 2
y-intercept(s):

Explanation:

Step1: Find x-intercept: set $s(x)=0$

$0=5x-15$

Step2: Solve for x

$5x=15 \implies x=3$

Step3: Find y-intercept: set $x=0$

$s(0)=5(0)-15$

Step4: Calculate $s(0)$

$s(0)=-15$

Answer:

x-intercept(s): $(3, 0)$
y-intercept(s): $(0, -15)$
