Question

The coordinates of the point where the line 2y = 4x + 5 crosses x-axis is ______.

Options

• `(0, (-5)/4)`

• `(0, 5/2)`

• `((-5)/4, 0)`

• `((-5)/2, 0)`

Answer 1

The coordinates of the point where the line 2y = 4x + 5 crosses x-axis is `underlinebb(((-5)/4, 0)`.

Explanation:

Line, 2y = 4x + 5

Given line crosses x-axis,

on x-axis y = 0

Put this value in equation of line

2 × 0 = 4x + 5

4x + 5 = 0

x = `-5/4`

Then, the coordinates of the point is `(-5/4, 0)`.
