Consider the equation y= -2x+5 Create a table of five ordered pairs that satify the equation. What is the y-intercept of the equation? What is the x-intercept of the equation?

Question

anonymous · Answer

did they give you specific values of x to use, or can you use any?

anonymous · Answer

a.
y-intercept (5, 0); x-intercept -5/2,0
b.
y-intercept (0, 5); x-intercept 0,5/2
c.
y-intercept (5, 0); x-intercept 5/2,0
d.
y-intercept (0, 5); x-intercept 5/2,0

anonymous · Answer

That's really about it

anonymous · Answer

ok. To find the y-intercept, plug in 0 for x and solve for y.
y = -2x + 5
y = -2(0) + 5

anonymous · Answer

to find the x, do the opposite. plug in 0 for y and solve for x
y = -2x + 5
0 = -2x + 5

anonymous · Answer

y-intercepts are always (0, number)
x-intercepts are always (number, 0)
