Find the distance between the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the graph of the equation 5x - 12y = 60.

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Algebra I

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

The y-intercept is the y value when x = 0.  Another way to reword that is when the graph crosses the y-axis.

The x-intercept is the x value when y = 0.  Another way to reword that is when the graph crosses the x-axis.

Algebra II

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Equation 5x - 12y = 60

Step 2: Rewrite in slope-intercept form

Step 3: Find x and y intercept

x-intercept

y-intercept

Step 4: Write coordinates

x-int (12, 0)

y-int (0, -5)

Step 5: Find distance d

vbbv

step-by-step explanation:

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.
