Question

A student says that the X intercept of the graph X plus 2Y equals five is the point (0, 5.)

Answer 1

This student is incorrect because there is no number that you can multiply by 2 to get 5. Therefore, the proper point would be (1, 5) as the equation is setup as x+2y=5, so x must equal 1, and y must equal 2. Now to check if its correct:
1+2(2)=5
2x2=4
1+4=5
It is correct, so the answer is (1, 5)
