<PRE><B>Question 305925</B>
The standard equation for a line is Y = mX + B.
Where m = the slope, and B = the Y-intercept
The given equation; f(x) = -5X + 2 is already in the standard form
-5 is the slope
2 is the Y-intercept
--------------
The X-intecept is found when Y = 0, so set the equation equal to 0
{{{0 = -5X + 2}}} Subtract 2 from both sides
{{{-2 = -5X}}} Divide both sides by -5
{{{2/5 = X}}}
2/5 is the X-intercept

Here is the graph to check it:
