Find the x and y Intercepts 2x-5y=10

$2 x - 5 y = 10$

Step 1

Find the x-intercepts.

To find the x-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $y$ and solve for $x$ .

$2 x - 5 \cdot 0 = 10$

Solve the equation.

Simplify $2 x - 5 \cdot 0$ .

Multiply $- 5$ by $0$ .

$2 x + 0 = 10$

Add $2 x$ and $0$ .

$2 x = 10$

Divide each term in $2 x = 10$ by $2$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $2 x = 10$ by $2$ .

$\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{10}{2}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{10}{2}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{10}{2}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $10$ by $2$ .

$x = 5$

x-intercept(s) in point form.

x-intercept(s): $(5, 0)$

Step 2

Find the y-intercepts.

To find the y-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $x$ and solve for $y$ .

$2 (0) - 5 y = 10$

Solve the equation.

Simplify $2 (0) - 5 y$ .

Multiply $2$ by $0$ .

$0 - 5 y = 10$

Subtract $5 y$ from $0$ .

$- 5 y = 10$

Divide each term in $- 5 y = 10$ by $- 5$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 5 y = 10$ by $- 5$ .

$\frac{- 5 y}{- 5} = \frac{10}{- 5}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 5 y}{- 5} = \frac{10}{- 5}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{10}{- 5}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $10$ by $- 5$ .

$y = - 2$

y-intercept(s) in point form.

y-intercept(s): $(0, - 2)$

Step 3

List the intersections.

x-intercept(s): $(5, 0)$

y-intercept(s): $(0, - 2)$

Step 4

Find the x and y Intercepts 2x-5y=10
