Step-by-step explanation:
The x- intercept is where the line crosses the x- axis. Let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x
5(0) = 2x - 1, that is
0 = 2x - 1 ( add 1 to both sides )
1 = 2x ( divide both sides by 2 )
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
The x- intercept is ( [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex], 0 )
The y- intercept is where the line crosses the y- axis. Let x = 0 in the equation and solve for y
5y = 2(0) - 1
5y = - 1 ( divide both sides by 5 )
y = - [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
The y- intercept is (0, - [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] )
