Algebra.Com's Answer #434779 by Stitch(470)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! I think you meant to type Y = 4/5X - 10 \n" ); document.write( "-------------------- \n" ); document.write( "The standard eqaution of a line is Y = mX = b \n" ); document.write( "Where m is the slope and b is the Y-intercept. \n" ); document.write( "So yes, (0,-10) is the Y-intercept. \n" ); document.write( "-------------------- \n" ); document.write( "The X intercept is found when Y is equal to zero. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Add 10 to both sides \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 5/4 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Simplify \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "The x-intercept is (12.5,0) \n" ); document.write( " |
