Before solving this system, Danielle noticed that the point of intersection is also the y-intercept of 5x-2y=4

Answer:

(0,4)

Explanation:

5x - 2y = 4 Subtract 5x from both sides

5x - 5x -2y = -5x + 4

-2y = -5x + 4 Divide all the way through by -2

y =
(5)/(2) x + 4

The y-intercept is 4.

The point to intersection is (0,4)

Answer:

Because it is. The point of intersection is the y-intercept. Where the line crosses the y-axis that is your y-intercept.
