What are the intercepts of x + 5y = 10? (5, 0) and (0, 2) (2, 0) and (0, 10) (10, 0) and (0, 2) (12, 0) and (0, 2)
Jakob, I'm glad to help. BUT ... B U T .... I expect you to apply what you've learned in previous, similar problems. By now you know what intercepts are and how to find them.
Please do not just post questions and wait for others to give you answers.
What are the intercepts of x + 5y = 10? y-intercept: let x= 0 and find y.
I havent done that in any of my previous question nvm I will get help from someone else You could at least have the common sense to at least take me step by step
And I am not going to argue with on a public website so dont reply
You have found intercepts before and should thus have the experience to know what to do next. And I did suggest the following: What are the intercepts of x + 5y = 10? y-intercept: let x= 0 and find y. If you are serious about learning how to do these problems with increasing independence, please show your work now.
Seriously its kinda obvious not since I have asked you to help me the last 3 questions
Lol this is the longest time you´ve been in one of my answers for
Well then help me
What do I do...... Step One
You claim you have not found intercepts before. What about this? What are the intercepts of y = 4x − 2? A. (2, 0) and (0, 0.5) B. (2, 0) and (0, 5) C. (2, 0) and (0, -2) D. (0.5, 0) and (0, -2)W
What are the intercepts of x + 5y = 10? y-intercept: let x= 0 and find y.
Go onto another question I will message you when I have an answer
Fine. As long as you show your work, I'd be happy to help you.
Alright how would I find y?
Lucky guess is what got me to get the last answer correct
x + 5y = 10 If you let x=0 you end up with 5y = 10. To find y, divide both sides of this last equation by 5
So 2?
0,2
Which is correct? Hint: If you think y=2, then substitute 2 for y in 5y = 10. Is the resulting equation true or false?
True?
You tell me. Is 5(2)=10 true or false?
I dont understand this question..... Math isn´t my strong suite..... I have A´s in all my other class´s and math is a C
5(2)=10 is TRUE. So your value for y is correct: y=2. Your y-intercept is (0,2) How did you get that? You set x=0 (which is the equation for the y-axis) and then calculated y. You got 2. Ergo, (0,2).
So the answer is A.... Correct?
Now find the x-intercept. x + 5y = 10 To do this, set y=0 (which is the equation of the x-axis) Then you have x + 5(0) = 10. Can you solve this for x?
Let's finish this discussion before going on to answers.
In summary, the y-intercept is (0,2). Now let y=0 and find x (exactly as explained above). Your result?
5 right?
x + 5y = 10 To do this, set y=0 (which is the equation of the x-axis) Then you have x + 5(0) = 10. Can you solve this for x? This equation becomes x + 0 = 10. Can you solve that for x? Note that 5(0)=0.
yes
Your result? x=?
10,0
x is 10. Thus, your x-intercept is (10,0) . Note that you must insert the x-coordinate first and the y-coo0rdinate 2nd. That's why we get (10,0) for the x-intercept. The opposite is true for the y-intercept: (0,2). So now you have both intercepts. Choose the correct answer now.
C
Very good. I hope this discussion has helped your understanding of "intercepts."
It did thank you
You're welcome. Hope I'm forgiven for having annoyed you.
No I was being A D*** sorry for the attitude
My goal is always that you learn and undrstand the material and be able to apply it independently in new situations.
You're forgiven. Great guy. thank you.
I need to get off OpenStudy, but will be back on later. 'Til later, then.
Lol 1 hour on this one question
Yes, but now u understand the material and will be able to solve the next similar problem in 2 minutes. Seriously.
Alright have a great day..... Once again sorry for the attitude
