$(\frac{4}{5}, 0)$ $(4/5,0)$

The x-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis. Take note that at the x-axis, the value of $y$ $y$ is 0.

So, to find the x-intercept, we will simply set $y$ $y$ to $0$ $0$ , then solve for the value of $x$ $x$ .

$[1] 5 x - 3 y = 4$ $[1]" "5x-3y=4$

Let $y = 0$ $y=0$ .

$[2] 5 x - 3 (0) = 4$ $[2]" "5x-3(0)=4$

$[3] 5 x = 4$ $[3]" "5x=4$

$[4] x = \frac{4}{5}$ $[4]" "x=4/5$

So now we know that the value of $x$ $x$ when the graph crosses the x-axis is $\frac{4}{5}$ $4/5$ .

The x-intercept would then be the point $(\frac{4}{5}, 0)$ $(4/5,0)$
