Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1. 1/5x - 1/3y = -1

2. -3/4x +1/3y = 12

Multiplying equation 1 by 15 and equation 2 by 12

3. 3x - 5y = -15

4. -9x + 4y = 144

and then Solving both equations simultaneously, since x = -20 as stated in the question and by confirmation,

Using equation 3 or 4 to solve for y,

3(-20) - 5y = -15

-5y = 60 - 15

y = 45/-5

= -9

y = -9

What are the x– and y–intercepts of the graph of y = 2x^2 – 8x – 10?
Nadya [2.5K]
<u>x-intercepts are found by setting y=0</u>
y=2x^2-8x-10\rightarrow0=2x^2-8x-10
<em>factor out a 2</em> 0=2(x^2-4x-5)\rightarrow0=x^2-4x-5
<em />0=(x-5)(x+1) <em>roots should be </em>x=-1,5
therefore, x-intercepts are (-1,0) and (5,0)
<u>
</u><u>y-intercepts are found by setting x=0</u>
y=2x^2-8x-10\rightarrow y=2(0)^2-8(0)-10
\rightarrow y=0-0-10=-10
therefore, y-intercept is (0,-10)
