[tex]\[ 5x + 3y = 10 \][/tex] is a line which meets the \( x \)-axis at a point:

A. \((0,3)\)

B. \((3,0)\)

C. \((2,0)\)

D. [tex]\((0,2)\)[/tex]


Sagot :

To determine at which point the line \( 5x + 3y = 10 \) meets the \( x \)-axis, we need to find the \( x \)-intercept of the line.

### Finding the \( x \)-intercept

The \( x \)-intercept is the point where the line crosses the \( x \)-axis. At this point, the \( y \)-coordinate is 0. Let's substitute \( y = 0 \) into the equation of the line and solve for \( x \):

[tex]\[ 5x + 3y = 10 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 5x + 3(0) = 10 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 5x = 10 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ x = \frac{10}{5} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ x = 2 \][/tex]

So the \( x \)-intercept of the line \( 5x + 3y = 10 \) is at the point \( (2, 0) \).

### Choosing the correct option

Among the given options:
- (a) \( (0, 3) \)
- (b) \( (3, 0) \)
- (c) \( (2, 0) \)
- (d) \( (0, 2) \)

The correct point where the line meets the \( x \)-axis is \( (2, 0) \).

### Conclusion

Therefore, the correct option is:

(c) [tex]\( (2, 0) \)[/tex]
