Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the x-intercept of the line 5x - 2y + 10 = 0?
  • Step 1: Understand that the x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis.
  • Step 2: Know that at the x-axis, the value of y is 0.
  • Step 3: Substitute y = 0 into the equation 5x - 2y + 10 = 0.
  • Step 4: The equation becomes 5x - 2(0) + 10 = 0.
  • Step 5: Simplify the equation to 5x + 10 = 0.
  • Step 6: Solve for x by isolating it. First, subtract 10 from both sides: 5x = -10.
  • Step 7: Now, divide both sides by 5 to find x: x = -2.
