Question

What is the x-intercept for the equation -2x + 5y = -10

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

In order to get the x-intercept of an equation, you need to set the y value equal to 0:

-2x + 5(0) = -10

-2x =-10

x = 5

Answer 2

The x-intercept is at the point (5,0).

Explanation:

-2x + 5y = -10

At the x intercept y = 0 so we substitute y = 0 into the given equation:

-2x + 5(0) = -10

-2x = -10

x = 5.
