Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation 5x + 2y = 24

To plot the given equation, we need to find the x and the y intercept as shown;

x intercept occurs at y = 0

Substitute y = 0 into the expression:

5x + 2(0) = 24

5x = 24

x = 24/5

x = 4.8

The x intercept is at (4.8, 0)

Similarly for the y intercept. when x = 0

5(0) + 2y = 24

2y = 24

y = 12

The y intercept is (0, 12)

Plotting the coordinate points (4.8, 0) and (0, 12) as shown;
