Question

10x + 4y = 20 what are the x and y intercepts and why

Answer 1

Answer:

To find the x-intercept, set $y = 0$

 and solve for $x$.

$10x + 4y = 20 \\ 10x + 0 = 20 \\ 10x = 20 \\ x = 2 \\(2 ,0)$

To find the y-intercept, set $x = 0$

 and solve for $y$.

$10x + 4y = 20 \\ 0 + 4y = 20 \\ 4y = 20 \\ y = 5 \\(0,5)$
