Question

find the - and y- intercept of the line.

-10+5y=40

x-intercept is 5; y-intercept is . x -intercept is 5 ; y -intercept is Image with alt text: negative 10 . x-intercept is 8; y-intercept is . x -intercept is 8; y -intercept is Image with alt text: negative 4 . x-intercept is ; y-intercept is 5. x -intercept is Image with alt text: negative 10 ; y -intercept is 5. x-intercept is ; y-intercept is 8.

Answer 1

To find the x-intercept, let y = 0 and solve for x:

-10 + 5(0) = 40
-10 + 0 = 40
-10 = 40
This equation is not possible. Therefore, there is no x-intercept.

To find the y-intercept, let x = 0 and solve for y:

-10 + 5y = 40
5y = 50
y = 10

Thus, the y-intercept is 10.
