Can you find the x-intercept -2x - y equals -10?

Answer 1

8

Answer 2

To find your answer, it is easiest to first put the equation of this line in slope-intercept form:

-2x-y=-10 (+2x to both sides)

-y=2x-10 (divide both sides by -1)

y=-2x+10

Now, to find the x-intercept of a line in slope-intercept form, enter 0 for the y-coordinate in the (X,Y) pair.

0=-2x+10 (subtract 10 from both sides)

-10 = -2x (divide both sides by -2)

x=5

Put in coordinate form, the answer would be (5,0)
