Answer: X intercepts= (
25
/2
, 0
)
Y intercepts = (0, -5)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the x-intercept, substitute in 0 for y and solve for x
. To find the y-intercept, substitute in 0 for x and solve for y
.
So to find Y you'll do 2(0)-5y=25
2x0=0........this will make the equation 0-5y=25....0-5y is -5y and 25/-5 is -5. You now know that Y=-5 and X is automattically 0 in these types of problems hence why we plugged in 0 for X to solve for Y.
To find X you'll do the same thing but you'll plug 0 in for Y
so the equation will become 2x-5(0)=25 and 5x0=0 so it will become 2x-0=25 then you'll have to divide to get rid of X. If it does not go in evenly then you leave it as a fraction. This is why you get (25/2, 0)
