Question

$\frac{2x-1}{3}-\frac{y-2}{5}=0$

• A. $(0.03,0)$ and $(-0.1,1)$
• B. $(-0.1,0)$ and $(0,0.3)$
• C. $(0.03,0.1)$ and $(0.1,1)$
• D. $(0.1,0)$ and $(0,0.3)$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $(-0.1,0)$ and $(0,0.3)$

The given equation is $\frac{2x-1}{3}-\frac{y-2}{5}=0$

$\Rightarrow y=\frac{10}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}$

Here $x$ is the independent variable.

We assign any $4$ values of $x$ and obtain the corresponding values of $y$.

$x=-0.7$

$\Rightarrow y=-2$,

$x=-0.4$

$\Rightarrow y=-1$,

$x=0.2$

$\Rightarrow y=1$

$x=0.5$

$\Rightarrow y=2$

So, the ordered pairs of values of $(x,y)=(-0.7,-2),(-0.4,-1),(0.2,1)$ and $(0.5,2)$.

Now we plot them on a graph.

The co-ordinates of $x$ intercept is $(-0.1,0)$ and the co-ordinats of $y$ intercept is $(0,0.3)$.
