given the equation below, algebraically find the x and y intercepts of the equation. (see page 8)\n4x - 5y =…

Explanation:

Step1: Find the x - intercept

Set (y = 0) in the equation (4x-5y = 20). [ \begin{align*} 4x-5\times0&=20\ 4x&=20\ x&=\frac{20}{4}\ x& = 5 \end{align*} ]

Step2: Find the y - intercept

Set (x = 0) in the equation (4x - 5y=20). [ \begin{align*} 4\times0-5y&=20\ -5y&=20\ y&=\frac{20}{-5}\ y&=- 4 \end{align*} ]

Answer:

x - intercept: (5) y - intercept: (-4)
