Question

Find the x-intercept for the line represented by this equation. y=5x-2

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The x- intercept is where the line crosses the x- axis. At this point on the x- axis the y- coordinate is zero.

To find the x- intercept let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x, that is

5x - 2 = 0 ( add 2 to both sides )

5x = 2 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = $\frac{2}{5}$ ← x- intercept

coordinates of x- intercept are ($\frac{2}{5}$, 0 ) → C
