Arecycling center pays 2 cents per aluminum can and 5 cents per glass bottle. the equation 2x+5y=100 describes the number of cans x and bottles y that you need to earn $1.00. what is the value of each intercept, and what does each represent?

The x-intercept is 50 and it means to earn $1 using ONLY aluminum cans, you would have to collect 50 of them.

The y-intercept is 20 and it means to earn $1 using ONLY glass bottles, you would have to collect 20 of them.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x intercept, we set y = 0.

To find y intercept, we set x = 0.

x-intercept:

The x-intercept is 50 and it means to earn $1 using ONLY aluminum cans, you would have to collect 50 of them.

y-intercept:

The y-intercept is 20 and it means to earn $1 using ONLY glass bottles, you would have to collect 20 of them.
