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