Identify the x-intercept and the y-intercept for the line. 2x - 5y = 8

OpenStudy (kaboom):

So, we must isolate the x to find the x-intercept and isolate y to find the y-intercept

OpenStudy (kaboom):

x is (4,0) y is (0,-1.6)

OpenStudy (campayne):

but these are the options -4, 5/8 4, -8/5 5/8, -4 -8/5, 4

OpenStudy (kaboom):

-8/5 is equal to -1.6

OpenStudy (kaboom):

so x= 4 and y= -8/5

OpenStudy (campayne):

i thought so i was looking up what 1.6 is as a fraction

OpenStudy (kaboom):

If you want to fin that out, simply divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number) :)

OpenStudy (kaboom):

find*

OpenStudy (campayne):
