Question

What are the intercepts of the equation -2x + 5y = 20 ?
Select one:
a. (-10,0) & (0,4)
b. (0,-10) & (4,0)
c. (0,10) & (-4,0)
d. (10,0) & 0,-4)

Answer 1

to find the intercepts use the process

x-intercept, let y = 0 so you need to solve -2x = 20

y - intercept, let x = 0 so you need to solve 5y = 20

hope it helps

Answer 2

x-intercept is found by replacing y with 0 and solving for x
y-intercept is found by replacing x with 0 and solving for y
