Question

What are the x- and y-intercepts for the graph of 5x – 2y = 20?

A) x-intercept = 4
y-intercept = -10

B) x-intercept = -2
y-intercept = 5

C) x-intercept = -4
y-intercept = 10

D) x-intercept = 2
y-intercept = -5

Answer 1

A)

x-intercept= 4

y-intercept= -10

Explanation:

Answer 2

5x – 2y = 20

x-intercept
5x – 2(0) = 20
5x = 20
x =4

y-intercept
5(0) – 2y = 20
-2y = 20
y = -10

answer:

A) x-intercept = 4
y-intercept = -10
