Algebra.Com's Answer #9655 by elima(1433)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5x-2y=10\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First we will find the y-intercept; \n" ); document.write( "Let x=0 and solve for y; \n" ); document.write( "5(0)-2y=10 \n" ); document.write( "-2y=10 \n" ); document.write( "y=-5 \n" ); document.write( "So your y-intercept will be y=-5 \n" ); document.write( "Now the x-intercept; \n" ); document.write( "Let y=0 and solve for x; \n" ); document.write( "5x-2(0)=10 \n" ); document.write( "5x=10 \n" ); document.write( "x=2 \n" ); document.write( " Your x-intercept is; \n" ); document.write( "x=2 \n" ); document.write( "Now you have 2 points for the graph, but you need one more, so choose another value for x and solve for y; \n" ); document.write( "Let x=1 \n" ); document.write( "5(1)-2y=10 \n" ); document.write( "5-2y=10 \n" ); document.write( "-2y=2 \n" ); document.write( "y=-1 \n" ); document.write( "So our third point will be (1,-1) \n" ); document.write( "Now you can graph; \n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps \n" ); document.write( "=) \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
