The student is incorrect, the actual x-intercept is (5, 0).
<h3>Is the student correct or incorrect?</h3>
Here we have the equation:
x + 2y = 5
The student says that the x-intercept is the point (0, 5).
So if you look at the point you already can see that the student is incorrect, this is because the x-intercept always must have a y-value of 0. (the graph only intercepts the x-axis when y = 0).
So the point (0, 5) can't be an x-intercept.
For the given function:
x +2y = 5
The x-intercept is given by:
x + 2*0 = 5
x = 5
So it is (5 , 0).

Answer:
18 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Sophie can peel all potatoes in 45 minutes, in 1 minute she can peel:
Simon can peel all potatoes in 30 minutes, in 1 minute he can peel:
Together, in 1 minute they can peel:
- 1/45+1/30= 2/90+3/90= 5/90= 1/18 of all the potatoes
To peel all the potatoes they need:
- 1 ÷ 1/18= 1 × 18= 18 minutes
So it will take them 18 minutes to peel all the potatoes
The correct equation should look something like this:
y= -1x - 2
Consider the equation for a line:
y = mx + b,
Where ‘m’ is the slope
Where ‘b’ is the y-intercept.
From there you can plug in your known values for ‘m’ and ‘b’, and get the equation above. If you are still not convinced, I suggest you graph the function and observe its slope and y-intercept.
Hope this helps!
Well the word “sum” means to add.
Other than that good luck.
