Question

What are the x- and y-interepts of the graph of 5x-4y=20?

Answer 1

Answer: x=4,y=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: 5x-4y=20

To find the x intercept make y=0 so ur left with

1)5x-4(0)=20

Then you can solve x from here

2) 5x=20

Because -4 * 0 = 0

3) x= 20/5

Because we want x by itself so we divide 5 on both side so the 5 cancels out on the left side

4) x=4

Because 20/5=4

You do the same thing for y make x equal to zero and that’s how you find it
