Step-by-step explanation:
The intercepts are where the line crosses the x and y axes.
To find the x- intercept ( where the line crosses the x- axis) let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x, that is
0 + 5 = - 2x
5 = - 2x ( divide both sides by - 2 )
x = - [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] = - 2.5 ← x- intercept ⇒ (- 2.5, 0 )
To find the y- intercept ( where the line crosses the y- axis ) let x = 0 in the equation and solve for y, that is
y + 5 = 0 ⇒ y = - 5 ← y- intercept ⇒ (0, - 5 )
