Question

Find the x and y intercepts
2ax+2by=4c

Answer 1

To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x. To find the y-intercept, set x=0 and solve for y.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-intercept, we set y = 0 and solve for x. To find the y-intercept, we set x = 0 and solve for y. Let's take the equation 2ax + 2by = 4c as an example:

To find the x-intercept:

1. Set y = 0: 2ax + 2b(0) = 4c
2. Simplify the equation: 2ax = 4c
3. Divide both sides by 2a: x = 2c/a

To find the y-intercept:

1. Set x = 0: 2a(0) + 2by = 4c
2. Simplify the equation: 2by = 4c
3. Divide both sides by 2b: y = 2c/b

Answer 2

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2ax + 2by = 4c

To find the x- intercept let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x

2ax + 2b(0) = 4c

2ax = 4c ( divide both sides by 2a )

x =
`(4c)/(2a)` =
`(2c)/(a)` ← x- intercept

To find the y- intercept let x = 0 in the equation and solve for y

2a(0) + 2by = 4c

2by = 4c ( divide both sides by 2b )

y =
`(4c)/(2b)` =
`(2c)/(b)` ← y- intercept
