The y-intercept of the equation 2x + y = 10x -1 is at (0, -1), and the x-intercept is at (1/8, 0).
Finding the y-intercept:
Set x to zero:
2(0) + y = 10(0) - 1
y = -1
The y-intercept is at (0, -1).
Finding the x-intercept:
Set y to zero:
2x + 0 = 10x - 1
-8x = -1
x = 1/8
The x-intercept is at (1/8, 0).
