The equation of a graph is 4x - 3y = 5. What is the x-intercept?

Solution:

The x-intercept for any curve is the value of x coordinate of the point where the graph cuts

x-axis, or we can say that x-intercept is the value of the x coordinate of a point where the value of y coordinate equals zero.

The given equation is 4x - 3y = 5

To find the x intercept we have to consider y as 0

⇒ 4x - 3(0) = 5

⇒ 4x - 0 = 5

⇒ 4x = 5

Dividing both sides by 4

⇒ x = 5/4

Therefore, the x-intercept is 5/4.

The equation of a graph is 4x - 3y = 5. What is the x-intercept?

Summary:

The equation of a graph is 4x - 3y = 5. The x-intercept is 5/4.
