Question

Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the graph of the equation. Do not graph the equation. -5x + 5y = 10 x - intercept = y - intercept =

Answer 1

The x intercept is when y = 0.

We wrtie:

`\begin{gathered} -5x+5\cdot0=10 \\ x=(10)/(-5) \\ x=-2 \end{gathered}`

And the y intercept is when x = 0:

`\begin{gathered} -5\cdot0+5y=10 \\ y=(10)/(5) \\ y=2 \end{gathered}`
