Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute
0
for
y
, and solve for
x
.
5
x
+
0
=
10
5
x
=
10
Divide both sides by
5
.
x
=
10
5
x
=
2
Point A:
(
2
,
0
)
←
x-intercept
Y-intercept: value of
y
when
x
=
0
Substitute
0
for
x
.
5
(
0
)
+
y
=
10
Simplify.
0
+
y
=
10
y
=
10
Point B:
(
0
,
10
)
←
y-intercept
graph{5x+y=10 [-14.24, 14.23, -7.12, 7.12]}
