The graph of 5x-2y=10 intersects the x-axis and y-axis what are the order pairs for these two points of intersection?
A.(2,0) and (0,5)
B.(2,0) and (0,-5)
C.(-2,0) and (0,5)
D.(-2,0) and (0,-5)
to get the x intercepts and y intercepts ( or as you call it two points of intersection), set one variable to 0 and solve for the other. then set the other variable to 0 and sovle for the first.
so let x be 0 first. 5*0 -2y = 10
so -2y = 10,
so y= -5. We write this as (0,-5) since x goes first and y last.
doing this for the second scenario, we set y = 0. so,
5x - 2*0 = 10
5x= 10
x=2. Thus, since x goes first, we find (2,0)
therefore, we get (2,0) and (0,-5)
and which answer is that may i ask? it is B.
ty sooooo much
another question (sorry about all these just trying to get this done and learn it before tom.)
Jennie calculated the probabilities of various events involving a coin. What is the probability of a coin landing on heads at least twice when the coin is flipped three times
a. 1/8
b. 1/6
c. 1/4
d. 1/2
*i think it is d and if it is i need work for it* *no matter what i need work*
again sorry did it again
To find the points of intersection of a graph with the x-axis and y-axis, we can set one of the variables to zero and solve for the other variable.
Starting with the equation 5x - 2y = 10, we can set y = 0 to find the x-intercept. Plugging in y = 0 into the equation, we get:
5x - 2(0) = 10
5x = 10
x = 2
So the x-intercept is (2, 0).
Next, we can set x = 0 to find the y-intercept. Plugging in x = 0 into the equation, we get:
5(0) - 2y = 10
-2y = 10
y = -5
So the y-intercept is (0, -5).
Therefore, the correct answer is B. (2, 0) and (0, -5).
