Question

find the coordinates of the point where the graph of the equation 5 x 2 Y = and intercept both Axes

Answer 1

To answer this question, we need to remember that all axis intersections are, is when the other axis is equal to zero.

For example, to find the coordinate of the point where this line intersects the y intercept, set x equal to zero.

5*0 + 2*y = 10 Set x equal to zero.

2*y = 10 Anything multiplied by zero is zero.

y = 5 Divide both sides by two.

So the coordinate of the y-intercept is (0,5).

We can also do this to find the x intercept. We can set the y equal to zero to get the coordinate of the point where this line intersects the x-intercept.

5*x + 2*0 = 10 Set the y equal to zero.

5*x = 10 Anything multiplied by zero is zero.

x = 2 Divide both sides of the equation by five.

So the coordinate of the x intercept is (2,0)

Y-Intercept: (0,5)

X-Intercept: (2,0)
