Question

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

Answer 1

Answer: (5,0)

Explanation:

-2x + 5y = -10

-2x = -10 -5y

x = 5- 5x/2.

So the graph intersects the x axis when y = 0 and x = 5.

So the x intercept is (5,0)

Answer 2

x-intercept (y=0)

-2x+5y=-10

Substitute now :

-2x+5(0)=-10

-2x=-10

Divide both numbers by -2

-2/-2x= -10/-2

x=5

x- intercept = (5,0)
