Answer:

strategy: put this equation into slope intercept form y = mx + b

then it is easier to find x and y intercepts

Explanation:

5x-3y=10

5x-10=3y

5/3x - 10/3 = y

y = 5/3x - 10/3

when x is zero then y is - 10/3, that's the y intercept

when y is zero then x is 2, that's the x intercept

y intercept = -10/3
x intercept = 2
