what is the x-intercept of 5x+2y=5 on a graph?

Question

what is the x-intercept of the equation 5x+2y=5 on a graph?

Answer 1

To find an intercept set the other value to 0 and solve the equation. i.e. for the y intercept set x=0 or for the x intercept set y=0.

So in this case:
    5x+2(0)=5

so:
    5x=5

which means:
    x=1 

 

and the unique x intercept is at the point (1,0).
