Question

Complete the following steps for this equation.
5x – 20 = 4y
1. Write the equation in standard form.


2. Find the x-intercept.




3. Find the y-intercept.



4. Graph the linear equation on the coordinate plane.

Answer 1

To change to standard form you would add \(\Large{20}\) to the left side to cancel it out and add it to the other....

\(\LARGE{5x(−20+20)=4y+20→5x=4y+20}\)

In which you would subtract \(\Large{4y}\) from the right side and add the \(\Large{−4y}\) to the other side....so the standard equation would look like this....

\(\Huge\color{purple}{5x−4y=20}\)

Do you understand my process?

Answer 2

are u there @DJBreezy

Answer 3

Sorry.....im back

Answer 4

@563blackghost ..can u show me how to do it give all the work and the answer so therefore next time i know how to do it next time i end up doing a question like this?

Answer 5

Well I can't do that since that is basically given away the answer....

Answer 6

To find the x-intercept you would basically make y as 0 so you would input that and solve for the x-intercept....

\(\Huge{5x-4(0)=20}\) Simplify to solve...

To find the y-intercept you would follow the same process EXCEPT you would make x as 0 instead of y....

\(\Huge{5(0)-4y=20}\)
