Question

Find the x- and y-intercepts . Please show all of your work.
5x-4y=-10

Answer 1

just divide whole equation by -10

Answer 2

to find x intercept put y=0
y intercept put x=0

Answer 3

\[\frac{ x }{ a }+\frac{ y }{ b }=1\] where a and b are intercepts

Answer 4

@ghazi why is that true?

Answer 5

it is the simplest form in which one can have intercept.....one just needs to put it in the form given above

Answer 6

x-intr is where y=0
y-intr is where x=0
so put x=0 in the equation and solve for y to find the y-intr
and later do the same thing for x- intr

Answer 7

thank you
