Question

The equation of the graphed line is x+2y=5. What is the x-intercept of the graph?

Answer 1

x = (5,0)

Explanation:

To find the x-intercept, substitute y with 0 and solve for x.

x + 2(0) = 5

Then, simplify.

Multiply 2 by 0.

x + 0 = 5

Add x and 0.

x = 5

So, the result will be x = (5,0)
