Answer:
x intercept: 5
y intercept: 50
Step-by-step explanation:
- let us plot the graph for better understanding.
- we will represent f(x) on y-axis so, the equation will become: y= 50-10x
- the equation is of the form : y=mx+c
[where, m: slope of the line
c : y-intercept ]
- meaning of x intercept: the x-coordinate of the point where the line meets x-axis
- meaning of y intercept: the y-coordinate of the point where the line meets y-axis
- the line y= 50-10x has slope of -10 and it passes through (0,50)
[ (0,50) lies on the line only. substitute and check if the point satisfies the above line equation]
- by seeing the graph in the attachment and by the definitions given above, we can say that,
x intercept: 5
y intercept: 50
