Find the point where the line crosses the x-axis. y = –5x + 5

1 answer:

8 0

Every point on the x-axis has y-coordinate 0.
Let y = 0, and solve for x.

y = -5x + 5

0 = -5x + 5

5x = 5

x = 1

The line crosses the x-axis at x = 1.

Answer:

<h2>A.Multiplication Property of Equality</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+2y=14\\-x+y=5&\text{\underline{multiply both sides by 2}}\end{array}\right\\\\\boxed{\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+2y=14\\-2x+2y=10\end{array}\right}}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\.\qquad\qquad4y=24\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\.\qquad\qquad y=6\\\\\text{put the value of y to the second equation:}\\\\-x+6=5\qquad\text{subtract 6 from both sides}\\-x=-1\qquad\text{change the signs}\\x=1$
