Verified answer

Statement:

Find the x and y-intercept of x + y = 10.

• To find the x-intercept, substitute y to 0 and solve for x.
• To find the y-intercept, substitute x to 0 and solve for y.

Solution:

• x + y = 10
• x + 0 = 10
• x = 10 - 0
• x = 10

---------

• x + y = 10
• 0 + y = 10
• y = 10

Answer:

• The x-intercept is 10.
• The y-intercept is 10.
