3What are the intercepts of the equation -2x + 5y = 20?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for y-intercept set x=0 and solve for y for x-intercept set y=0 and solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x,y) you can set the answer as a point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

make it in the form : (x/a )+ (y/b) =1 where a and b are intercepts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still dont' get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ur equation can be written as: (x/-10)+(y/4)=1 therfore intecepts are -10 and 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But which intercept is which? @himanshu31

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Romero x intercept is below 'x' and y-intercept is below 'y'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(0,4) & (-10,0) are z answers
