Question

What is the x-intercept of -1/2x-5y=-10 ?

Option A: 1/2
Option B: 2
Option C: 5
Option D: 20

Answer 1

The x-intercept is where the graph crosses the x-axis. At that point, the y-coordinate is zero.
Let y = 0 and solve for x.

Answer 2

how do you solve

Answer 3

Here's the equation:
-1/2x-5y=-10
Now replace y with 0:
\( -\dfrac{1}{2}x - 5y = 0\)

\(-\dfrac{1}{2}x - 5 \cdot 0 = -10 \)

\(-\dfrac{1}{2}x - 0 = -10 \)

\(-\dfrac{1}{2}x = -10 \)

Since x in beiung multiplied by -1/2, multiply both sides by -2 to find x.
