The x-axis is the horizontal axis so you want to know if y=-5x is a horizontal line.
The easiest way to check is to test a few points. For example if you plug in 0 for x, you get 0 for y. If you plug in 1 for x, you get -5 for y. Since you get different values for y, it isn't a horizontal line.

What is the x-intercept for y equals 5x - 10?
-5
What is the x intercept of 3y equals 18?
3y =18 y = 6 That is a line intercepting y axis at 6 but parallel to he x axis - there is no x intercept - it never crosses the x axis
Graph the equation x equals -3?
The is a straight line parallel to the y-axis with an x intercept at -3.
What is y equals -4?
A straight line 4 units below and parallel to the x-axis
Is x equals 1 a function?
Yes and it is a vertical straight line parallel to the y axis
How do you graph 5x 10 equals 20?
5x - 10 = 20Add 10 to each side:5x = 30Divide each side by 5:x = 6If you feel that you must graph this equation for some reason,then your graph is a vertical line, parallel to the y-axis, passingthrough the point [ x=6 ] on the x-axis.
The line y equals -2.5 is parallel to what axis?
y=-2.5 is parallel to the x axis. The equation of the x axis is y=0
What is the x-intercept for y equals 5x - 10?
-5
Is y equals -2 a parallel line or a perpendicular line?
y=-2 is parallel to the x-axis and perpendicular to the y-axis.
Where does the graph cross the y axis at in y equals 5x-2?
y = 5x - 2 This follows the general equation for a straight line y = mx + c. Where 'm' is the slope/gradient and 'c' is the y-intercept. At the point the line crosses the y-axis , then x = 0 Hence y = 5(0) - 2 y = -2 is the point the line intercept the y-axis.
What is the xintercept for 5x - 4y equals 18?
To find the x-intercept for 5x - 4y = 18, plug in a 0 for the y value and solve for x. 5x - 4(0) = 18 5x = 18 x = 18/5 or 3.6 The line will hit the x-axis at (3.6,0)
What is the x intercept of 3y equals 18?
3y =18 y = 6 That is a line intercepting y axis at 6 but parallel to he x axis - there is no x intercept - it never crosses the x axis
Graph the equation x equals -3?
The is a straight line parallel to the y-axis with an x intercept at -3.
What is y equals -4?
A straight line 4 units below and parallel to the x-axis
Is x equals 1 a function?
Yes and it is a vertical straight line parallel to the y axis
What is y equals x 5x equals 12y?
5x=11y
Does y equals 3x2 minus 5x plus 1 cross the x axis?
Yes, it crosses at (0.23,0) and (1.43,0).
