Answer:
Find the X and Y Intercepts
To find the x-intercept, substitute in 0 for y and solve for x . To find the y-intercept, substitute in 0 for x and solve for y .
x-intercept: (2 ,0 )
y-intercept: (0 , − 1 )
Is the first equation
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) x- 2y = 2
To find x intercept we plug in 0 for y
x - 2(0) = 2
x=2, so x intercept is (2,0)
To find y intercept we plug in 0 for x
0 - 2y =2
-2y=2
divide both sides by -2
y=-1 , so y intercept is (0,-1)
(2) -3x + 3y = 7
plug in y=0 , -3x + 3(0) = 7
-3x=7
divide both sides by -3
So [tex]-\frac{7}{3}[/tex], x intercept is (-7/3,0)
plug in x=0, -3(0) + 3y = 7
3y=7
divide both sides by 3
So [tex]\frac{7}{3}[/tex], y intercept is (0,7/3)
(3) 3x - 5y = -20
Plug in y=0
3x - 5(0) = -20
3x = -20
Divide both sides by 3
[tex]x= -\frac{20}{3}[/tex], x intercept is (-20/3 , 0)
Plug in x=0
3(0) - 5y = -20
-5y= -20
divide both sides by -5
y = 4, so y intercept is (0,4)
