Question 245234: Find the x- and y-intercepts (if any) for each line. Show your work.
Plot those intercepts, and graph the two lines. Submit your graph through the Dropbox.
Apply elimination or substitution to find the coordinates of the point of intersection (if there are no solutions or infinite solutions, state this).
x + 5y = 2
2x = -10y + 4

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Apply elimination or substitution to find the coordinates of the point of intersection (if there are no solutions or infinite solutions, state this).
x + 5y = 2
2x = -10y + 4
----------------------
Multiply thru the 1st equation by 2.
Rearrange the 2nd equation.
2x + 10y = 4
2x + 10y = 4
---
The two equations are the same so you have
an infinite number of solutions.
---
Each point is of the form (x , -(x+2)/5)
