Mathematics 10 — Exercise 2.2 · Q1 (v)

Full question

Draw the graph of the following linear equation and find its points of intersection with the x-axis and the y-axis.

Step-by-step solution

1. Rewrite the line as y = f(x).

   $$y=x-\frac{1}{5}$$

2. For the x-axis put y = 0 and solve. For the y-axis put x = 0.

   $$(x-\frac{1}{5}=0,y=-\frac{1}{5})$$

3. Plot the two intercept points and draw the straight line through them.

   $$((\frac{1}{5},0),(0,-\frac{1}{5}))$$

Answer

The final answer is shown below.
