Concept explainers
To calculate: The error in finding the intercepts of the graph of the equation.
Answer to Problem 26E
The x-intercept should be (5, 0), and the y-intercept should be (0, 2).
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The intercepts of the graph of the equation as given below,
The x-intercept is at (0, 5), and
The y-intercept is at (2, 0).
Formula used:
Substitution method is used
Calculation:
The student wrote the intercepts incorrectly. The student stated that the x-intercept was (0, 5) and the y-intercept was (2, 0). However, the student placed them as the opposite.
The x-intercept should be (5, 0), and the y-intercept should be (0, 2).
Conclusion:
The x-intercept should be (5, 0), and the y-intercept should be (0, 2).
