Question

What is the x-intercept and y-intercept of y = -2x + 5*

Write your answer as the order pair (x,y)

Answer 1

Order pair: (5/2 , 5)

Explanation:

Solve for y-intercept by making x = 0

y = -2x + 5

y = -2(0) + 5

y = 0 + 5

y = 5

Solve for x-intercept by making y = 0:

0 = -2x + 5

-5 = -2x

divide both sides by -2 to find:

5/2 = x

therefore order pair: (5/2 , 5)
