Answer:
Explanation:
(2,4) is point lying on the line represented by 5x + 2y = 18.
They are not intercepts.
x-intercept is point where the line crosses the x-axis and so, y-co ordinate at x-intercept is 0.
y-intercept is point where the line crosses they-axis and so,x-co ordinate at y-intercept is 0.
5x + 2y = 18
To find x-intercept, put y = 0 in the equation
5x = 18
x = 18/5
x = 3.6
To find y-intercept, put x = 0 in the equation
2y = 18
y = 18/2
y = 9
x-intercept : (3.6 , 0)
y-intercept :(0, 9)
