Q. Find the xx-intercept of the line 5x+11y=25x + 11y = -2. Write your answer as an integer or as a simplified proper or improper fraction, not as an ordered pair.
  1. Set yy to 00: To find the x-intercept, we set yy to 00 and solve for xx.\newlineSubstitute 00 for yy in the equation 5x+11y=25x + 11y = -2.\newline5x+11(0)=25x + 11(0) = -2\newline5x=25x = -2
  2. Substitute in equation: Now, we solve for xx by dividing both sides of the equation by 55.5x5=25\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{-2}{5}x=25x = \frac{-2}{5}
