BeauThe x-intercept of the line given by the equation y = 5x - 10 is the point ( 2, 0 )
The x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis. Any point on the x-axis has an y value of 0. This gives us the y coordinate, as well as the following equation:
0 = 5x - 10
Solve for x.
First, we add 10 to both sides.
10 + 0 = 5x - 10 + 10
Simplify
10 = 5x
Now we divide both sides of the equation by 5, giving us
10 / 5 = (5x) / 5
Simplify
2 = x.
Ergo, the point is ( 2, 0 )

What is the xintercept for this linear equation 6x - y equals 9?
-3
What is the xintercept of y2x 5?
As written this is not a graphable thing. I does not represent a graphable equation because there is no "=" sign. Whatever the equation might be, the x intercept is found by setting y=0, which leaves you with an equation for x, which is the intercept.
What are the x- and y-intercepts of the line with equation 4x plus 5y equals 40?
First, put the equation in slope-intervcept form y=mx + b 5y=4x + 40 The y intercept is where x=0 so- 5y= 4(0) +40 solve for y y intercept = (0,8) For the x intercept, y=0 0=4x+40 -4x=40 x= -10 xintercept =( -10.0)
