Question 20002: find the intercepts of the equation. then graph the equation.
5x-2y=10
thank you for your help Answer by elima(1433) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5x-2y=10
First we will find the y-intercept;
Let x=0 and solve for y;
5(0)-2y=10
-2y=10
y=-5
So your y-intercept will be y=-5
Now the x-intercept;
Let y=0 and solve for x;
5x-2(0)=10
5x=10
x=2
Your x-intercept is;
x=2
Now you have 2 points for the graph, but you need one more, so choose another value for x and solve for y;
Let x=1
5(1)-2y=10
5-2y=10
-2y=2
y=-1
So our third point will be (1,-1)
Now you can graph;
Hope this helps
