Find the x - and y -intercepts for the equation. Then use the intercepts to graph the equation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x:

2x + 5(0) = 10

2x = 10

x = 5

So the x-intercept is (5,0).

To find the y-intercept, set x=0 and solve for y:

2(0) + 5y = 10

5y = 10

y = 2

So the y-intercept is (0,2).

Plot these two points on the coordinate plane and draw a line through them to graph the equation.
