Question

Danielle plans to graph the linear equation 5x-2y=10 by plotting the x-intercept and y-intercept.

Answer 1

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$5x-2y=10$

Find the x-intercept

Remember that the x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero

For y=0

$5x-2(0)=10\\5x=10\\x=2$

the x-intercept is the point (2,0)

Find the y-intercept

Remember that the y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

For x=0

$5(0)-2y=10\\-2y=10\\y=-5$

the y-intercept is the point (0,-5)

using a graphing tool

Plot the intercepts and connect them to graph the line
