1. Find the intercept then graph in a document
Y=-40+5x
There are two types of intercepts. There are x intercepts and y intercepts. These are the points where the graph crosses the x axis and the y axis respectively. When a graph crosses the y axis, the value of the x variable will be 0 at that point. When the graph crosses the x axis, the value of the y variable will be 0. You can find the x and y intercepts by substituting 0 in place of either x or y and then solving the equation for the other variable. To find the y intercept of this equation, put 0 in place of x to get y = -40 + 5 * 0 = -40 so the y intercept is -40. To find the x intercept, put 0 in place of y to get 0 = -40 + 5x. Add 40 to both sides of the equation to get 40 = 5x and then divide both sides by 5 to get the final answer of x = 8 so the x intercept is 8.
