Question

Determine the intercepts of the line.
-5x – 4y = 10
y-intercept:
X-intercept:

Answer 1

Y-intercept =(-2,0)

X-intercept =(0,- 5/2 )

Answer 2

y - intercept = -5/2

x-intercept = -2

Explanation:

-5x - 4y = 10

At y-intercept , x = 0

0 - 4y = 10

y = 10/-4

y = -5/2

At x-intercept, y = 0

-5x - 0 = 10

-5x = 10

x = 10/-5

x = -2
