Question

find the x and y intercepts and graph the equation plotting the intercepts. -4x+5y=-20
please show work

Answer 1

to find the x intercept let y = 0

-4x + 5(0) = -20

-4x = -20

x = 5

therefore x-intercept is (5,0)

Answer 2

to find the y-intercept you let x become 0
-4(0) + 5y = -20
5y = -20

can you solve for y now?

Answer 3

would it be (0,-20)

Answer 4

sorry i mean(-20,0)

Answer 5

y would be -20/5

what is -20/5?

Answer 6

ok so -4x+5y=-20
5y=4x-20
y=4/5x-4
y intercept is -4
x intercept is when y is 0 so. 0=4/5x-4
4=4/5x
5=x
5 is x intercept

Answer 7

ok now im more confused bc i have two different answers

Answer 8

what are you asking for x or y intercept?

Answer 9

the question asks for both x and y

Answer 10

x is 5 and y is -4

Answer 11

how did you come up with that? i have to ge able to make a line graph
