SOLUTION: Find the x- and y-intercepts and the slope 2x+y=5 can you explain step by step please

Question 179185: Find the x- and y-intercepts and the slope
2x+y=5 can you explain step by step please
Answer by Mathtut(3670) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the easiest way to find y intercept is to write this in slope intercept form that way you kill two birds with one stone. y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
:
2x+y=5
:
y=-2x+5
:
so m=slope=-2
y intercept is 5
:
the way to find the x intercept is to set y=0
:
2x+0=5
:
2x=5
:
x intercept is 5/2.....(5/2,0)
