The line with the equation 4/5x+1/3y =1 ...

The line with the equation `4/5x+1/3y` =1 is graphed in the xy‑plane. What is the x-coordinate of the x‑intercept of the line?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, D
The y-coordinate of the x-intercept is 0, so 0 can be substituted for y , giving `4/5x+1/3(0)=1`. This simplifies to `4/5x=1`. Multiplying both sides of `4/5x`=1 by 5 gives 4x=5. Dividing both sides of 4x = 5 by 4 gives x = `5/4`, which is equivalent to 1.25. Either 5/4 or 1.25 may be gridded as the correct answer.
