You are almost correct. A y-intercept is in the form (0,b), so you substitute 0 for x and solve for y:



and the intercept is (0,-5). You did this part correctly.

An x-intercept is in the form (a,0), so you substitute 0 for y and solve for x:



and the intercept is (7,0). Here, you have the coordinates reversed.
