Question

Determine the x-and y-intercepts. -5x + 2y = 10

Answer 1

Answer:

The x intercept is -2

The y intercept is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + 2y = 10

To find the x intercept set y =0 and solve for x

-5x + 0 = 10

-5x = 10

x = 10/-5 = -2

The x intercept is -2

To find the y intercept set x =0 and solve for y

0 + 2y = 10

2y = 10

y = 10/2 = 5

The y intercept is 5

Answer 2

X=2
Y=10

-5x2=-10
2x10=20
-10+20=10
