Answer:

x intercept : (5,0)

y intercept : (0,-2)

2/5 is the slope

Explanation:

when finding the intercept of a line with ax + by = c you make the other variable 0. This is due to the fact that if it is x intercept it it (x,0) and if it is y intercept it is (0,y) so if you plug in the other variable is 0.

x intercept : (5,0)

y intercept : (0,-2)

When finding a slop and knowing 2 points you can use the formula.

y(2nd one) - y(1st one)

---------------------------------

x(2nd one) - x(1st one)

-2 - 0 -2 2

--------- = -------- = -------

0 - 5 -5 5

2/5 is the slope

Hope this helps
