Question

Graph linear equation identify the x-intercept y-10=-5x?

Answer 1

graph{y-10=-5x [2,0]}
Coordinates(2,0)

Explanation:

`x`-intercept means that `y=0`
Substitute `y=0`
`-5x=-10`
`x=2`
So coordinate of `x`-intercept is (2,0)

Or, you can draw the graph and see where the line intersects the `x`-axis

Answer 2

graph{-5x+10 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

The `x`-intercept is `x=2`.

Explanation:

Use the equation to solve for `y` to get

`y=-5x+10`

To easily graph the equation, find the `y`-intercept and continue the line using the slope from the `y`-intercept. The `y`-intercept is `(0,10)` (set `x=0` and solve for `y`).

To find the `x`-intercept, set `y=0` and solve for `x`. Solving for `x` would give the value of `x=2`,
