The y-intercept is where +x=0+
+10x+-+5y+=+25+
+10%2A0+-+5y+=+25+
+5y+=+-25+
+y+=+-5+
--------------------
The x-intercept is where +y=0+
+10x+-+5%2A0+=+25+
+10x+=+25+
+x+=+5%2F2+

Find the x-intercept and y-intercept of the given equation.
10x − 5y = 25
x intercept occurs when y = 0
10x - 5(0) = 25
10x = 25
x = 25/10
x = 2.5
y intercept occurs when x = 0
10(0) - 5y = 25
-5y = 25
y = 25/-5
y = -5
