Find the x and y Intercepts f(x)=(5x+5)

$f (x) = (5 x + 5)$

Step 1

Find the x-intercepts.

To find the x-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $y$ and solve for $x$ .

$0 = 5 x + 5$

Solve the equation.

Rewrite the equation as $5 x + 5 = 0$ .

$5 x + 5 = 0$

Subtract $5$ from both sides of the equation.

$5 x = - 5$

Divide each term in $5 x = - 5$ by $5$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $5 x = - 5$ by $5$ .

$\frac{5 x}{5} = \frac{- 5}{5}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{5 x}{5} = \frac{- 5}{5}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{- 5}{5}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 5$ by $5$ .

$x = - 1$

x-intercept(s) in point form.

x-intercept(s): $(- 1, 0)$

Step 2

Find the y-intercepts.

To find the y-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $x$ and solve for $y$ .

$y = 5 (0) + 5$

Solve the equation.

Remove parentheses.

$y = 5 (0) + 5$

Simplify $5 (0) + 5$ .

Multiply $5$ by $0$ .

$y = 0 + 5$

Add $0$ and $5$ .

$y = 5$

y-intercept(s) in point form.

y-intercept(s): $(0, 5)$

Step 3

List the intersections.

x-intercept(s): $(- 1, 0)$

y-intercept(s): $(0, 5)$
