Answer:

The x-intercept is at the point (5,0).

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x + 5y = -10

At the x intercept y = 0 so we substitute y = 0 into the given equation:

-2x + 5(0) = -10

-2x = -10

x = 5.

Answer:

$x^2-4x+3$

$63\ \text{sq. units}$

Step-by-step explanation:

l = Length = $\dfrac{x^2-x-6}{x-5}$

w = Width = $\dfrac{x^2-6x+5}{x+2}$

Area is given by

$A=lw\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{x^2-x-6}{x-5}\times\dfrac{x^2-6x+5}{x+2}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{x^2-3x+2x-6}{x-5}\times\dfrac{x^2-5x-1x+5}{x+2}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{(x-3)(x+2)}{x-5}\times\dfrac{(x-5)(x-1)}{x+2}\\\Rightarrow A=(x-3)(x-1)\\\Rightarrow A=x^2-4x+3$
