Question 214107
Find the x- and y-intercepts for:
{{{2x-y = 5}}}
The way to find th x-intercept is to set y=0 and solve for x.
Similarly, the way to find the y-intercept is to set x=0 and solve for y.
{{{2x-y = 5}}} Set x=0.
{{{2(0)-y = 5}}} 
{{{-y = 5}}} Multiply both sides by -1.
{{{y = -5}}}
The y-intercept is at (0, -5).
{{{2x-y = 5}}} Set y=o.
{{{2x = 5}}} Divide both sides by 2.
{{{x = 5/2}}}
The x-intercept is at (5/2, 0)
