Question

What is the x-intercept of the line with equation 3y - 8x = 10? Represent your answer as a point in (x, y) form.

The solution is

Answer 1

(-1.25, 0) or (-5/4, 0)

Explanation:

The x-intercept is when y = 0, so let's plug 0 into the equation:

3(0) - 8x = 10

Now we use basic algebra to solve for x:

0 - 8x = 10

-8x = 10

x = -5/4 or -1.25

So the answer is (-1.25, 0) or (-5/4, 0).
