Question

finding the x intercept and y inercept of the line

2x+5y=10

can someone refresh my memory

Answer 1

for x-intercept solve for x and punch in 0 for y, for y intercept vise versa, the two equations you get should look like y=mx+b and x=my+b, for this one you'd get y= -2/5x=2 and x= -5/2y+5

means yer y intercept is (0,2) and yer x intercept is (5,0)

Answer 2

For the X intercept, plug in 0 for Y and for the Y intercept plug in 0 for X. So your X intercept is 5 and the Y intercept is 2.

Answer 3

Subtract 2x from both sides
then you should have 5y=10-2x
Divide 10-2x by 5
Remember your goal is y=mx+b
y= -2/5x+2
y intercept=-2/5
x intercept=2

Answer 4

x intercept is when y = 0

y intercept is when x = 0

Hope this helps. Good Luck.

Answer 5

like the first answer said: 2x=10, x/2=10/2, so x=5
5y=10, y/5=10/5, so y=2

Answer 6

try to find y when x = 0 and find x when y = 0

Answer 7

first you have to come up with your second equation, the one that just has on variable, then you solve for one variable then the other.

Answer 8

you need another equation to be able to solve that as it has two unknowns.

Answer 9

y=mx+b

m is slope, rise over run....I don't know if this helps
