Question

Find the x and y intercepts
4x - 5y = 40

  1. x intercept is 10 y intercept is 8
  2. x intercept is 10 y intercept is 20
  3. x intercept is 8 y intercept is 10
  4. x intercept is 10 y intercept is -8

hintHint:

The x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis. At this point y = 0.
The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. At this point x = 0.

The correct answer is: x intercept is 10
y intercept is -8


    Step 1 of 2:
    Given equation, 4x - 5y = 40
     4x - 0 = 40
     x = 10
    the x-intercept is 10
    Step 2 of 2:
    Given equation, 4x - 5y = 40
     0 - 5y = 40
     -5y = 40
     y = -8
    the y-intercept is -8.
    Final Answer:
    The right choice is- d. x-intercept is 10
                                        y-intercept is -8
