List and verify two intercept points (ordered pairs) that are solutions for the equation 5x – 4y = 20?
To find the x intercept, let y=0 and solve for x:
5x-4(0)=20
5x-0=20
5x=20
5x/5=20/5
x=4
The ordered pair is: (4,0)
:
To find the y intercept, let x=0 and solve for y:
5(0)-4y=20
0-4y=20
-4y=20
-4y/-4=20/-4
y=-5
The ordered pair is: (0,-5)
Plot the ordered pairs and connect the dots and you'd have a line that looks like this:
