Question

(ii) Draw the graph of the equation 5x + 8y = 20 and find the coordinates of the points of
intersection of the equation with the co-ordinate axes.

Answer 1

Answer:

X-axis at (a,0)=(5,0); Y-axis at (0,b)=(0,−2)

Given line: 2x−5y=10

⇒

5

x

+

−2

y

=1

Here, the intercepts are a=5,b=−2

Hence, (a,0)≡(5,0) and (0,b)≡(0,−2).
