Question

Can sameone help me please

Answer 1

The x-intercept is 2.

The y-intercept is 5.

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.

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

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

Solve for X-Intercept:

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

X-Intercept is -2

Solve for Y-intercept:

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

Y-Intercept is 5

Answer 2

X intercept: (-2,0)

Y intercept: (0,5)

Have a wonderful and blessed day!
