Question 718605: what is the x-intercept of the line with equation 3y - 4x = 10

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The x intercept means that y=0. So, substitute y=0, and you have
-4x=10
x=10%2F-4=-5%2F2

This can be written as a point (-5/2,0).

For additional help with graphing and intercepts, please see my own website at www.mathinlivingcolor.com. Click on the link at the bottom of this page which will take you to my homepage. There, look for topics in Basic Algebra in Chapter 4.
