The 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 )
