document.write( "Question 288740: how do you get the x- intercept of y=5/4x-2..........i got a slope of 5/4 and i got an x-intercept of (4/5,0) the x-intercept doesn't sound right to me can you help me??? thanks \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #209250 by richwmiller(17219) You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are right. It is not (4/5,0) \n" ); document.write( "The x intercept is when y=0 \n" ); document.write( "0=5x/4-2 \n" ); document.write( "2=5x/4 \n" ); document.write( "8=5x \n" ); document.write( "8/5=x \n" ); document.write( "(8/5,0)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Are you sure you want the x intercept and not the y intercept? \n" ); document.write( " |
