Answer:
x intercept: (-1/5,0)
y intercept: (0,-1)
Explanation:
the linear equation is in the y = mx + b form, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
we see that -1 is b in this equation, so (0,-1) is our y-intercept
to find the x-intercept, we substitute y = 0 and solve for x
0 = -5x - 1 < add 1 to both sides
1 = -5x < divide both sides by -5 to isolate x
-1/5 = x
our x-intercept is (-1/5, 0)
