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