Question

What are the x and y intercepts for the graph of 5x-2y=20

Answer 1

Answer:

x-intercept is 4 and y-intercept is -10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is,

$5x-2y=20$

For x-intercept, y = 0,

$5x-2(0)=20$

$5x=20$

$x = 4$

Thus, the x-intercept is 4,

Now for y intercept, x = 0,

$5(0)-2y=20$

$-2y=20$

$y=-10$

Thus, the y-intercept is -10.

Answer 2

Divide by 20 to put the equation into intercept form.
.. x/4 +y/(-10) = 1

The x-intercept is 4.
The y-intercept is -10.
