Question

What is the y and c intercepts of the linear equation

4.) y=-5x+10

Answer 1

x-intercept is 2, y-intercept is 10.

Explanation:

y=-5x+10

y=mx+b

-------------

m=-5 which means that the slope of this equation is -5.

And to find the y-intercept,

plug in x=0 into the equation and find out the value of y.

y=-5(0)+10=0+10=10

So the y-intercept is 10.

And to find the x-intercept,

plug in y=0 into the equation and find out the value of x.

0=-5x+10

-5x=0-10

-5x=-10

5x=10

x=10/5=2

So the x-intercept is 2.
