Find the x and y Intercepts 4x-5y=20

Problem

4*x−5*y=20

Solution

1. Find the x-intercept by setting y=0 in the equation.

4*x−5*(0)=20

2. Solve for x by simplifying the equation and dividing both sides by 4

4*x=20

x=5

3. Find the y-intercept by setting x=0 in the equation.

4*(0)−5*y=20

4. Solve for y by simplifying the equation and dividing both sides by −5

−5*y=20

y=−4

Final Answer

x-intercept: *(5,0), y-intercept: *(0,−4)
