Find the x and y intercept

(1) 2x+5y=-10

(2) 2x-6y=24

Solution

2x+5y=-10

To find the Y intercept what we want to do is figure out what the Y coordinate will be when X=0.
To do this, we can just plug in the X value of 0 and see what we get.
(2)(0) + 5Y = -10
5Y = -10
Y = -10/5
Y = -2

so (0,-2) is correct.

Now, to get the x intercept, we just have to make Y = 0 and solve foe x
2x +(5)(0) = -10
2x = -10
x = -10/2
x = -5

so (-5,0) is also correct.
