for question 1 find the x- and y-intercept of the line.

Question

-10x+5y=40

Answer 1

To find the x-intercept, we must set y equal to zero and solve for x:

-10x + 5(0) = 40
-10x = 40
x = 40 / -10
x = -4

Thus, the x-intercept is (-4, 0).

To find the y-intercept, we must set x equal to zero and solve for y:

-10(0) + 5y = 40
5y = 40
y = 40 / 5
y = 8

Thus, the y-intercept is (0, 8).
