The value of the x-intercept for the graph of 4x - 5y = 40 is

The x intercept is 10   or (10,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 5y = 40   The x-intercept of a line is when its y coordinate is equal to zero. Input zero into the equation for y and solve for x to find the x intercept.

4x-5(0) = 40

4x + 0  = 40

  4x = 40    

 x=  10

The x intercept is 10   or (10,0)

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
