Q. The equation 5x+10y=30 5 x+10 y=30 is graphed in the xy x y -plane. Which of the statements below is true of its graph?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) The graph's x x -intercept is 33 and its y y -intercept is 66 .\newline(B) The graph has a slope of 12 \frac{1}{2} .\newline(C) The graph has a slope of 21 -\frac{2}{1} .\newlineD The graph's x x -intercept is 66 and its y y -intercept is 33 .
  1. Find y-intercept: To find the y-intercept, we set xx to 00 and solve for yy.\newline5(0)+10y=305(0) + 10y = 30\newline10y=3010y = 30\newliney=3010y = \frac{30}{10}\newliney=3y = 3
  2. Find x-intercept: To find the x-intercept, we set yy to 00 and solve for xx.5x+10(0)=305x + 10(0) = 305x=305x = 30x=305x = \frac{30}{5}x=6x = 6
  3. Find slope: To find the slope, we need to rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope.\newline5x+10y=305x + 10y = 30\newline10y=5x+3010y = -5x + 30\newliney=(5/10)x+30/10y = (-5/10)x + 30/10\newliney=(1/2)x+3y = (-1/2)x + 3\newlineThe slope is 1/2-1/2.
  4. Compare with answer choices: Now we can compare the information we found with the answer choices.\newline(A) The graph's xx-intercept is 33 and its yy-intercept is 66. (Incorrect, we found xx-intercept is 66 and yy-intercept is 33)\newline(B) The graph has a slope of 12\frac{1}{2}. (Incorrect, the slope is negative, 12-\frac{1}{2})\newline(C) The graph has a slope of 21-\frac{2}{1}. (Incorrect, the slope is 12-\frac{1}{2}, not 21-\frac{2}{1})\newline(D) The graph's xx-intercept is 66 and its yy-intercept is 33. (Correct, matches our findings from Step1 & Step2)
