Question

please help me! Sketch the graph of 5x-4y=-20 Label the X and Y intercepts

Answer 1

x-intercept: when y=0
y-intercept: when x=0

so if you find those two points you can just draw a line through them and thats your graph.

x intercept:
5x-4(0)=-20
x=?

Answer 2

I got (0,5) when x=0

Answer 3

I mean X

Answer 4

I get -4,0

Answer 5

Right, so plot those two points, label them, and draw a line through them

Answer 6

I only have to find 2 points?

Answer 7

these points are (0,5) and (-4,0)

Answer 8

Do I need to put y by itself?

Answer 9

Yes you can graph a line with two points, just plot those and draw a straight line through them. (0,5) is the y intercept and (-4,0) is the x intercept, label those like the problem says

Answer 10

oh okay thanks a lot!!! I don't have to leave y by itself, right? I can leave the equation the way it is?

Answer 11

for example y=5/4x+5

Answer 12

Well it didnt ask you to do anything to the equation, it just asked you to graph it

Answer 13

oh okay thanks!!! :)
