Question

Graph the linear equation -5x+y=10. then identify the x-intercept

Answer 1

Graph the line using the slope and y-intercept, or two points.

Slope: 5

y-intercept: 10

x:0,1

y:10,15

Let's solve for x.

−5x+y=10

Step 1: Add -y to both sides.

−5x+y+−y=10+−y

−5x=−y+10

Step 2: Divide both sides by -5.

−5x / −5

=

−y+10 / −5

x= 1 / 5 y−2

Answer:

x= 1 / 5 y−2

Answer 2

the x-intercept would be -2 or (-2,0)

Explanation:

I inserted an image of the linear equation on a graph.

From the image, we can see that the line crosses the x-axis at (-2,0), meaning the x-intercept is -2.

hope this helps :)
