The standard form of the equation that represents the number of quarters, q, and the number of dimes, d, that Austin has in his piggy bank is 5q + 2d = 270. Explain what the intercepts mean in terms of the context and how to find them.

HEY MATE HERE IS YOUR ANSWER ✍✍

➡️5q + 2D = 270

The intercepts can be calculated by first putting d EQUAL to 0 and then Q equal to 0. These will be:

5q = 270

q = 54; (0 , 54)

2d = 270

d = 135; (135, 0)

The equation represents the total number of coins in the piggy bank and (0 , 54) shows the number of quarters in the piggy bank when there are no dimes and (0 , 135) shows the number of dimes when there are no quarters.
