Question

The equation of a line is
-2x+5t=-20
what is the x-intercept of the line?

Answer 1

The x intercept of the line is at x = 10.

The x intercept is always the value of x when all other values are equal to 0. So in this case, we put 0 in for t and then solve.

-2x + 5t = -20

-2x + 5(0) = -20

-2x = -20

x = 10
