Question

MEDAL AND FAN!! Find the x and y intercepts of the line with the given equations.
a) x-y=4
b) 2x-y=10

Answer 1

To find x intercept, put y=o into the equation

Answer 2

solve for the a in terms of x, x=4+y
substitute in b for x.

giving you 2(4+y)-y=10

8+2y-y=10

8+y=10
y=2
substitute in x=4+y= 4+2=6
so x=6 y=2

Answer 3

were they two different problems or one just given two equations?

Answer 4

Two different equations

Answer 5

oh they were 2 different equations
and the directions are the same! :D

Answer 6

oh do u know how to do b?
