Start with the given equation

Let's find the x-intercept

To find the x-intercept, let y=0 and solve for x:
Plug in

Simplify

Divide both sides by 2

Reduce

So the x-intercept is (,0) (note: the x-intercept will always have a y-coordinate equal to zero)

------------------

Start with the given equation

Now let's find the x-intercept

To find the y-intercept, let x=0 and solve for y:
Plug in

Simplify

Divide both sides by -5

Reduce

So the y-intercept is (0,) (note: the y-intercept will always have a x-coordinate equal to zero)

------------------------------------------

So we have these intercepts:
x-intercept: (,0)

y-intercept: (0,)

Now plot the two points (,0) and (0,)

Now draw a line through them
graph of through the points (,0) and (0,)
