There is one intercept, it's the point where x and y touch, or intercept. It's a dot on the graph.
In your equation:
5x+y = 5
y = -5x+5 set x to zero
y = -5(0)+5
y = 5
now let's do x:
5x+y = 5
5x = -y+5 we have one -y which is simplified as simply -y, but it is -1y
5x = -1y+5 sex y to zero
5x = -1(0)+5
5x = 5
x = 1
-------------------
Now we have your ordered pair (1, 5) do a graph like this:

There are two intercepts x and y
To find the x-intercept of a given linear equation, plug in 0 for 'y' and solve for 'x'.
To find the y-intercept, plug 0 in for 'x' and solve for 'y'.
We most often just use the y intercept

Set y = 0 for the x-intercept

5x + y = - 5 

5x + 0 = - 5 ------- Substituting 0 for y

5x = - 5

x = matrix%281%2C3%2C+%28-+5%29%2F5%2C+%22=%22%2C+-+1%29





5x + y = - 5 

     matrix%281%2C4%2C+y%2C+%22=%22%2C+-+5x%2C+highlight%28-+5%29%29 

b (y-intercept) = - 5



Plot these 2 intercepts, join the points and you'll have your graph.

From that form, to y=-5x-5, slope intercept form. y-intercept is (0,-5) and slope is -5. Use the known point and the slope to draw the line.
