To find the y intercept of the line y=2x+10, we must substitute x=0 into the equation.
therefore: y=2(o)+10=10. Therefore the y-intercept is 10.
Shortcut: the y intercept of any line in the form y=mx+b is simply 'b'.
To find the x-intercept, we substitute y=0 into the equation.
Therefore 0=2x+10
-10=2x
-5=x
Therefore, the x-intercept is -5.
Shortcut: the x intercept of any line in the form y=mx+b is simply -b/m.

What is the x and y intercept of x plus 2y equals 10?
x + 2y = 10At the x-intercept, y=0:x = 10At the y-intercept, x=0 ==> 2y = 10y = 5
How do you find the x-intercept and the y-intercept of a graph?
X axis is across and Y axis is down
How do you find the equation of a line with the x and y intercept?
If the x intercept is a and the y intercept is b, then the equation of the line is bx + ay = ab
How do you find the x and y intercepts of an equation?
Oh, finding the x and y intercepts is like finding little treasures in your painting. To find the x-intercept, you set y to zero and solve for x. To find the y-intercept, you set x to zero and solve for y. Remember, there are no mistakes in mathematics, just happy little accidents.
