Question

Find the X-intercept of the graph of the equation. 2x+5y=14

Answer 1

If you want the X-intercept, you want the place on the graph where Y = 0, where the line crosses the Y axis.

2x + 5y = 14

Change Y to zero

2x + 5(0) = 14
2x + 0 = 14
2x = 14

What does X equal?

The X-intercept is at ( __, 0 )

Answer 2

14?

Answer 3

2X = 14

what does X equal?

Answer 4

divide both sides of the equation by 2

2X = 14

2X / 2 = 14 / 2

X = ___
