Solution
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)`.
