Question

What are the intercepts for `2x - 5y=50`?

Answer 1

`"y-intercept "=-10," x-intercept "=25`

Explanation:

`"to find the intercepts, that is where the graph crosses"`
`"the x and y axes"`

`• " let x = 0, in the equation for y-intercept"`

`• " let y = 0, in the equation for x-intercept"`

`x=0rArr0-5y=50rArry=-10larrcolor(red)"y-intercept"`

`y=0rArr2x-0=50rArrx=25larrcolor(red)"x-intercept"`
