Answer:
x- intercept = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] , y- intercept = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
given
2y = 5x - 1
To find the x- intercept, where the graph crosses the x- axis, let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x.
2(0) = 5x - 1
0 = 5x - 1 ( add 1 to both sides )
1 = 5x ( divide both sides by 5 )
[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] = x
The x- intercept is at x = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
----------------------------------------------------------
To find the y- intercept, where the graph crosses the y- axis, let x = 0 in the equation and solve for y.
2y = 5(0) - 1 = 0 - 1 = - 1 ( divide both sides by 2 )
y = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
The y- intercept is at y = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
