Answer:
The x intercept is (3/2,0)
The y intercept is (0,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Y+5=2(x+1)
To find the x intercept, set y =0 and solve for x
0+5=2(x+1)
Distribute
5 = 2x+2
Subtract 2 from each side
5-2 =2x +2-2
3 =2x
Divide by 2
3/2 =x
The x intercept is (3/2,0)
To find the y intercept, set x =0 and solve for y
y+5=2(0+1)
y+5 = 2*1
y+5=2
Subtract 5 from each side
y+5-5=2-5
y=-3
The y intercept is (0,-3)
