The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \frac{2x - 1}{3} - \frac{y - 2}{5} = 0 \) and find the points where the line meets the coordinate axes, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rearranging the Equation Start by rearranging the given equation to a more standard form. \[ \frac{2x - 1}{3} = \frac{y - 2}{5} \] Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 5(2x - 1) = 3(y - 2) \] ### Step 2: Expand and Simplify Expanding both sides: \[ 10x - 5 = 3y - 6 \] Now, rearranging this to isolate \(y\): \[ 3y = 10x - 5 + 6 \] \[ 3y = 10x + 1 \] \[ y = \frac{10}{3}x + \frac{1}{3} \] ### Step 3: Finding Intercepts To find where the line meets the x-axis and y-axis, we can set \(y = 0\) for the x-intercept and \(x = 0\) for the y-intercept. #### Finding the x-intercept: Set \(y = 0\): \[ 0 = \frac{10}{3}x + \frac{1}{3} \] Solving for \(x\): \[ \frac{10}{3}x = -\frac{1}{3} \] \[ 10x = -1 \] \[ x = -\frac{1}{10} \] So, the x-intercept is \((- \frac{1}{10}, 0)\). #### Finding the y-intercept: Set \(x = 0\): \[ y = \frac{10}{3}(0) + \frac{1}{3} \] \[ y = \frac{1}{3} \] So, the y-intercept is \((0, \frac{1}{3})\). ### Step 4: Plotting the Points and Drawing the Graph Now that we have the intercepts, we can plot the points: 1. Point A: \((0, \frac{1}{3})\) 2. Point B: \((- \frac{1}{10}, 0)\) Draw the x-axis and y-axis, then plot these points. Finally, draw a straight line through these two points. ### Conclusion The coordinates of the points where the graph meets the coordinate axes are: - x-intercept: \((- \frac{1}{10}, 0)\) - y-intercept: \((0, \frac{1}{3})\)
