Identify the x- and y- intercepts of this equation. 5x β 4y = 20
Accepted Solution
A:
The x β intercept is 4 and y β intercept is β 5 for the given equation 5x - 4y = 20Solution:Given that , a line equation is 5x β 4y = 20 Β We have to find y β intercept and x β intercept of the above line equation.
Now, we know that, x β intercept is Β value of x when line meets x β axis.
Here, y becomes 0 when line meets x β axis, so put y = 0 in equation5x - 4(0) = 205x = 20x = 4
So, x β intercept is 4.
Now, we know that, y β intercept is Β value of y when line meets y β axis.
Here, x becomes 0 when line meets y β axis, so put x = 0 in equation5(0) β 4y = 20- 4y = 20y = -5
So, y β intercept is - 5Hence, the x β intercept is 4 and y β intercept is β 5 for the given equation.
