Answer:
x-intercept : (2, 0)
y-intercept : (0, -5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercept is where y = 0, and the y-intercept is where x = 0. To find the intercepts, substitute a zero in for the other variable, and solve.
So the x-intercept of 5x – 2y = 10 is
5x – 2y = 10 → 5x – 2(0) = 10 → 5x = 10 →
x = 2 → (2, 0).
So the y-intercept of 5x – 2y = 10 is
5x – 2y = 10 → 5(0) – 2y = 10 → -2y = 10 →
y = -5 → (0, -5).
