Answer:
x- intercept = - 5, y- intercept = - 4
Explanation:
The x- intercept is where the line crosses the x- axis.
The y- coordinate of any point on the x- axis is zero
Substitute y = 0 into the equation and solve for x
4x + 5(0) = - 20
4x = - 20 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = - 5 ← x- intercept or (- 5, 0 ) in coordinate form
The y- intercept is where the line crosses the y- axis
The x- coordinate of any point on the y- axis is zero
Substitute x = 0 into the equation and solve for y
4(0) + 5y = - 20
5y = - 20 ( divide both sides by 5 )
y = - 4 ← y- intercept or (0, - 4 ) in coordinate form
