Final answer:
To find the x-intercept of the function f(x) = 2 - 5/8x, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x. The intercept as an ordered pair is (3.2, 0).
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the x-intercept of the function f(x) = 2 - \frac{5}{8}x, we set f(x) = 0 and solve for x.
So, we have 2 - \frac{5}{8}x = 0.
To simplify, we multiply through by 8 to get 16 - 5x = 0.
Next, we isolate x by subtracting 16 from both sides, giving us -5x = -16.
Finally, we divide both sides by -5, resulting in x = \frac{16}{5} = 3.2.
Therefore, the intercept as an ordered pair is (3.2, 0).
