Question

Find the x and y intercepts for the equation 2x-5y=6

Answer 1

X= 5y/2+3

Explanation:

First add 5y to both sides

2x-5y+5y=6+5y

2x=5y+6

Step 2

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2=5y+6/2

X=5y/2+3

Answer 2

X intercepts (3,0) Y (0, -6/5)

Explanation:

X intercepts: -6-2x/5=0

5(-6-2/5)=0*5

-6+2x=0

-6+6+2x=0+6

2x=6

2x/2=6/2

x=3

Y intercepts: y=-6-2*0/5

y=6-2*0=6

6-2*0/5

6-0/5

6/5
