Question

I need to find the intercept:
5x + 2y = 10

Answer 1

10+5x=2y

Answer 2

which is it? Those are 2 different equations.

Answer 3

The first one, I'm just trying to break it down

Answer 4

Let's get it into slope intercept form (y = mx + b):

5x + 2y = 10
-5x -5x
2y = -5x + 10
/2 /2 /2
y = -(5/2)x + 5

Answer 5

Why wouldn't it be 2y=10-5x?

Answer 6

first off it'd be 10-5x=2y
do you want both intercepts?
To find the y intercept, it's the one that is b in the slope-intercept form y=mx+b
So it'd be 5 (10/2)
For the x intercept, set y to zero then solve for x
-5=-(5/2)x
10=5x
x is 2
