Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Determine the x-intercept of the line 4x - 5y + 20 = 0.
  • Step 1: Start with the equation of the line: 4x - 5y + 20 = 0.
  • Step 2: To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 because the x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis.
  • Step 3: Substitute y = 0 into the equation: 4x - 5(0) + 20 = 0.
  • Step 4: Simplify the equation: 4x + 20 = 0.
  • Step 5: Solve for x by isolating x: 4x = -20.
  • Step 6: Divide both sides by 4: x = -5.
  • Finding x-intercept – To find the x-intercept of a line, set y = 0 and solve for x.
  • Linear equations – Understanding the standard form of a linear equation and how to manipulate it.
