Explain the steps to find x- and y- intercepts of an equation of the form Ax + By = C

Step-by-step explanation:

For an equation of form Ax + By = C, we are given A, B, and C.

The x intercept is when the line/equation is on the x axis, or when y=0.

Therefore, if we plug y=0 into the equation Ax+By=C, and anything multiplied by 0 is equal to 0, we can say that

Ax + 0 = C

Ax = C

divide both sides by A

x  = C/A

Therefore, the x intercept is equal to C/A

Similarly, for the y intercept, or when the line is on the y axis (or when x=0), we have

A*0 + By = C

By = C

divide both sides by B

y= C/B at the y intercept
