Question

2x-5y=10 ;what is the x intercept, what is the y intercept, what is the slope?

Answer 1

2x-5y=10

subtract 2x on both side of the equal sign and you're left with

-5y=-2x+10

then you divide everything by -5 to get

y= 2/5x-2

---

X- intercept= (5,0)

y= -2

slope= 2/5x


Hope that makes some kind of sense!

Answer 2

First we put the equation in y = mx + b form where m is ur slope and b is ur y int.

2x - 5y = 10
-5y = -2x + 10
y = 2/5x - 2.......so ur slope is 2/5 and ur y int is (0,-2) <==

to find ur x int, sub in 0 for y and solve for x
2x - 5y = 10
2x - 5(0) = 10
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x = 5......and ur x int is (5,0) <==

another way to find the y int is to sub in 0 for x and solve for y...but u might as well solve it by putting it in y = mx + b form because that way u have ur slope as well.
