Question

Find both X and Y intercepts of the equation.
4x+y=5

Answer 1

divide it all by 5; then divide off the top coeffs; and read off the intercepts from the bottoms

Answer 2

\[4x+y=5\]
\[\frac{4x}{5}+\frac{y}{5}=\frac{5}{5}\]
\[\frac{x}{5/4}+\frac{y}{5}=1\]

Answer 3

now when y=0; x=5/4

and when x=0; y=5
