Question

What are the x and y intercepts of the equation -2x +3y=10

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-intercept, let y = 0 and solve the resulting equation for x:

-2x + 3(0) = 10, or -2x = 10.  This results in x = -5; the x-intercept is (-5, 0).

To find the y-intercept, let x = 0 and solve for y:  -2(0) + 3y = 10, or y = 10/3.

The y-intercept is (0, 10/3).
