Question 179570: find the x and y intercept of the equation 2x-5y=20
Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2x-5y=20
-5y=-2x+20
y=-2x/-5+20/-5
y=2x/5-4
When x=0 then:
y=-4
When y=o then:
0=2x/5-4
2x/5=-4
2x=5*-4
2x=-20
x=-20/2
x=-10
So the intercept points are:(0,-4) & (-10,0)
(graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 15, y from -10 to 10, 2x/5 -4x).
