AWLAYS!!! so how about you set y=0 in this function. well lets see what happens. well thats the same as now you can see that so the x-intercept = 2 , or in ordered par notation, (2,0) NOTE: you do the exact same thing with the y intercept as the equation of the y-axis is x=0 so when looking for the y-intercept, you plug x=0 into the equation and solve for y Answer by Alan3354(31538)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!What is the x-intercept of the equation 5x+2y=10? ------------ At the x-int, y = 0 Sub 0 for y, solve for x Answer by solver91311(17077)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! The -intercept is the point where the graph crosses the -axis, which is to say the point in the solution set that has the -coordinate equal to zero. The ordered pair looks like . The only thing you need to do is figure out the value of . To do that, substitute 0 for in the equation and do the required arithmetic to determine the value of that results. That will be your value.
