Question

What are the x and y-intercepts of the line described by this equation?

2x + 4y = 12.4

Enter your answers in the boxes in decimal form.
x-intercept =

y-intercept =

Answer 1

I'm sure you've calculated x- and y-intercepts before. What did you do to obtain them?

Answer 2

ill let mathmale answer he was here first

Answer 3

unless u give me permission @mathmale

Answer 4

lol idk

Answer 5

Well

Answer 6

Ill answer

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

You have to graph 2x+4y =12.4 first, before you can even get close to answering

Answer 9

on a coordinate graph, do you know how to do that

Answer 10

I am a blonde.... do you think I know how to do that

Answer 11

https://www.desmos.com/calculator use this

Answer 12

type 2x+4y =12.4 in

Answer 13

tell me when you are done

Answer 14

I am not lol

Answer 15

Well, if you go to the link I g ave, and type 2x+4y =12.4 in, its real simple

Answer 16

or copy/paste it in

Answer 17

Ok i did and idk what the line is ahahah

Answer 18

Of course, graphing will help. However, I'd suggest an easier approach:

To find the y-intercept, let x=0.
To find the x-intercept, let y=0.

@ saldis: Try this approach now.
2x + 4y = 12.4

Answer 19

Ok grea let me explain

Answer 20

yes

Answer 21

try his first before i explain

Answer 22

I'd suggest you learn to do this without the help of computer software. Check your results with such software, if you wish.

Answer 23

Listen to him hes expert, but leave the link i gave you open

Answer 24

2x + 4y = 12.4 Let x=0; find y now, please. @saldis?

Answer 25

ok

Answer 26

i dont think she knows what the graph is

Answer 27

or x y

Answer 28

Yea your right I am a blonde I dont know what colors are either XD

Answer 29

Ok saldis do you still have the link I gave you with the line open

Answer 30

do you?

Answer 31

no I got the answer thank you

Answer 32

Great

Answer 33

Still, I think you'd better learn how to find x- and y-intercepts quickly and accurately; you will need this skill in future problems.
