Find the x and y Intercepts 5x-2y=10

Problem

5*x−2*y=10

Solution

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

5*x−2*(0)=10

2. Solve for x by simplifying the equation and dividing both sides by 5

5*x=10

x=2

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

5*(0)−2*y=10

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

−2*y=10

y=−5

Final Answer

x-intercept: *(2,0), y-intercept: *(0,−5)
