Answer:

The x-intercept is (7,0), and the y-intercept is (0,-35).

Explanation:

The x-intercept has a y-coordinate of 0, since it is only because of that can the x-intercept touch the x-axis. Hence, once we plug y = 0 into 5x - y = 35:

5x - 0 = 35

5x = 35

x = 7.

Hence, the x-intercept is (7, 0).

Consequently, the y-intercept can be found using the same methods. Knowing the y-intercept has a x-coordinate of 0, we can plug that in to find:

5(0) - y = 35

0 - y = 35

y = -35

Hence, the y-intercept is (0,-35).

Hope this helped!
