To find the x intercept, we set y to 0 in the equation 4x - 5y = 40:
4x - 5(0) = 40
4x = 40
x = 10
So the x intercept is at (10, 0).
To find the y intercept, we set x to 0 in the equation:
4(0) - 5y = 40
-5y = 40
y = -8
So the y intercept is at (0, -8).
Therefore, the correct answer is c. Line crosses the x axis at (10, 0) and the y axis at (0, -8).
The equation 4x-5y=40 is in standard form and tells us the x intercept and y intercept easily. What are the x and y intercepts for this equation? A. The line crosses the x axis at (4,0) and the y axis at (0,-5) b. Line crosses the x axis at (4,40) and the y axis at (-8,40) c. Line crosses the x axis at (10,0) and the t axis at (0,-8) d. Line crosses the x axis at (-8,0) and the y axis at (0,10) e. Line crosses the x axis at (0,10) and the y axis at (-8,0)
