Answer:

The x-intercept is 2.

The y-intercept is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept is basically finding what the value of x when y is 0; y-intercept is vise-versa.

The format it is currently in is not in y=mx+b form which makes you unable to put on a graph...HOWEVER, YOU ACTUALLY CAN!

You goal for these type of questions is to isolate y by itself.

-20x+8y=40\\8y=20x+40\\y=2.5x+5

Your equation has been converted into y=mx+b which now can be used to easily find the x and y intercepts.

<u>You can either look at a graph and find the x and y intercepts or do it algebraically. </u>

Since, "<em>x-intercept is basically finding what the value of x when y is 0</em>", we plug in y with 0.

<u>Solve for X-Intercept: </u>

0=2.5x+5\\-5=2.5x\\-2=x

X-Intercept is -2

<u>Solve for Y-intercept:</u>

y=2.5(0)+5\\y=5

Y-Intercept is 5

A line has a slope of 2 and contains the points 1,3 and 2,y the value of y is
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

The value of y is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

we have

A(1,3)\ B(2,y)

Substitute the values

2=\frac{y-3}{2-1}

2=y-3

y=2+3=5
