Question

The graph of the linear equation 2x + 5y = 10 meets the x-axis at the point.

[1 mark]

 (0, 5)

 (2, 0)

 (5, 0)

 (0, 2)

​

Answer 1

Answer:

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).

Answer 2

Answer:

x+y=(2-10)5

x+y=(-8)5 x=-8

x+y=-40
