Hi,

find the x- and y-intercepts:

10x + 4y = 20

finding x-intercept when y = 0

10x = 20 

x = 2  Pt(2,0) the x intercept

finding y-intercept when x = 0

4y = 20

y = 5  Pt(0,5) the y intercept

To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x.
10x+%2B+4y+=+20
10x+%2B+0+=+20
10x=20
x=2
(2,0)

To find the y-intercept, set x=0 and solve for y.
10x+%2B+4y+=+20
0+%2B+4y+=+20
4y=20
y=5
(0,5)
