D) $x$-intercept $= - \frac { 5 } { 4 } ; y$-intercept $= \frac { 5 } { 2 }$

Question

The graph shows the monthly revenue in millions of dollars of a growing company after the company doubled its advertising. Use the graph to solve the problem. 
-2x - 4y = 5 
A) $x$-intercept $= 3 ; y$-intercept $= 9$ 
B) $x$-intercept $= \frac { 5 } { 2 } ; y$-intercept $= \frac { 5 } { 4 }$ 
C) $x$-intercept $= \frac { 5 } { 2 } ; y$-intercept $= - \frac { 5 } { 4 }$ 
D) $x$-intercept $= - \frac { 5 } { 4 } ; y$-intercept $= \frac { 5 } { 2 }$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the x-intercept, set $y = 0$ in the equation: $2x = 5$, so $x = \frac{5}{2}$. To find the y-intercept, set $x = 0$: $-4y = 5$, so $y = -\frac{5}{4}$.
