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)`.

(Street Plan): A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction.
All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are 200 m apart. There are 5 streets in each direction. Using 1cm = 200 m, draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines.
There are many cross- streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North - South direction and another in the East - West direction. Each cross street is referred to in the following manner : If the 2nd street running in the North - South direction and 5th in the East - West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street (2, 5). Using this convention, find:
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (4, 3).
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (3, 4).
