Question

How do you find the x and y intercepts of `2x-y=10`?

Answer 1

`x=5 and y=-10`
graph{2x-10 [-5, 10, -15, 5]}
(the graph has been scaled to show the intercepts and does not accurately depict the slope)

Explanation:

Put the equation into double-intercept form.
`(x/a)+(y/b)=1`
where `a` is the x-intercept and `b` is the y-intercept

Original equation:
`2x-y=10`
Divide all parts by 10:
`((2x)/10)+((-1y)/10)=(10/10)`

And here is the finished product!
`(x/5)+(y/-10)=1`

So the answer is...
`x=5 and y=-10`
