You can put this solution on YOUR website!

to graph this function using intercepts 4x+%2B+5y+=40 first find intercepts
x-intercept is at (x,0)
y-intercept is at (0,y)

so, go to 4x+%2B+5y+=40, plug in y=0%7D%7D+and+calculate+%7B%7B%7Bx

4x+%2B+5%2A0+=40
4x++=40
x+=10
and, x-intercept is at (10,0)


now plug in x=0%7D%7D+and+calculate+%7B%7B%7By

4%2A0+%2B+5y+=40
y+=40%2F5
y+=8
and, y-intercept is at (0,8)

now plot these two points and draw a line through
