The answer is X:-12, Y:-20

The x-intercept is –12; the y-intercept is –20 option (D) is correct if the equation of the line is -10x - 6y = 120.

What is a straight line?

A straight line is a combination of endless points joined on both sides of the point.

The slope 'm' of any straight line is given by:

[tex]\rm m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

The equation of a line is:

–10x – 6y = 120

Plug y = 0 for x-intercept:

-10x = 120

x = -12

Plug x = 0 for y-intercept:

-6y = 120

y = -20

Thus, the x-intercept is –12; the y-intercept is –20 option (D) is correct.
