Question 31824: Ineed to find the x and y intercepts of the graph of the equation
5x + y = 10

algebraically,
an x-intercept is a point on the graph where y is zero, and
a y-intercept is a point on the graph where x is zero.
So here In the equation 5x + y = 10
to find x intercept put y = 0
therfore 5x + 0 =10
therfore x = 2
to find y intercept put x = 0
therfore y = 10
