Question

What is the X and y intercept for the following equation ? 4x - 10y = 20 O x-int = 5 y-int = 2 O x-int = 4 y -int = -10 O x - int = 4 y-int = -10 O x - int = 5 y int = -2

Answer 1

x- intercept = 5 , y- intercept = - 2

Explanation:

given the equation

4x - 10y = 20

To find the x- intercept , let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x

4x - 10(0) = 20

4x - 0 = 20

4x = 20 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 5

the x- intercept = 5

To find the y- intercept , let x = 0 in the equation and solve for y

4(0) - 10y = 20

0 - 10y = 20

- 10y = 20 ( divide both sides by - 10 )

y = - 2

the y- intercept = - 2
