Question

Find the coordinates where the equation x+2y=5 intersects x-axis​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Where the line cuts x- axis, y=0. So putting y=0 in the equation we have x+2=0 or x=-2. Hence, the point where the line intersects x-axis is (-2,0).

Similarly, where the line cuts y- axis, x=0. So putting x=0 in the equation we have -2y+2=0 or y=1, Hence, the point where the line intersects y-axis is (0,1).
