Find the x intercept and the y intercept of the graph of the equation 5x+4y=40

x intercept is 8, y intercept is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

x intercept is the x value for which the graph crosses the x-axis. Similar for y.

5x + 4y = 40 describes a straight line, so we should have no problem with finding those values

Let's find an x for which y = 0

5x + 4y = 40

substitute y=0

5x = 40

x = 8

Let's find a y for which x = 0

5x + 4y = 40

substitute x=0

4y = 40

y = 10

answer

the correct answer is

explanation

the given function is

the excluded values are obtained by solving:

we factor to obtain:

the excluded values are

the slope of the line is 60

one point on the line is (40,10)

step-by-step explanation:

in the equation outside the parenthesis the equation always tells you the slope. in this case it is 60.

in the parenthesis is also says 40 which is x because it is near the x and 10 is y because it is near y.
