What is the x and y intercept of 2x 10 equals 20?

Answer 1

Assume the expression is 2x + 10y = 20.

x-intercept occurs where y = 0.

y-intercept occurs where x = 0.

Let's work on each part of the problem:

X-intercept

Let y = 0. Then:

2x + 10(0) = 20

2x = 20

x = 20/2

x = 10

So the x-intercept is (10,0)

Y-intercept

Let x = 0. Then:

2(0) + 10y = 20

10y = 20

y = 20/10

y = 2

So the y-intercept is (0,2).
