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. 
-4x - 20y = 20
A) x-intercept = -1; y-intercept = 5 
B) x-intercept = 5; y-intercept = 1 
C) x-intercept = 1; y-intercept = 5 
D) x-intercept = 5; y-intercept = -1

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x: 4x - 20(0) = 20, so x = 5. To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 and solve for y: 4(0) - 20y = 20, so y = -1.
