Answer:

(0,0) for both intercepts

Explanation:

To find the x-intercept, substitute y for 0.

y = 5x

0 = 5x <= Isolate x. Divide both sides by 0.

x = 0

(0,0)

To find the y-intercept, ensure the equation is in y-intercept form.

y = mx + b. The b value is the y-intercept.

y = 5x <= Yes, this is in y-intercept form.

y = 5x + 0 <= b is equal to 0.

(0,0)

Therefore, the x and y intercepts are both (0,0). The graph passes through the origin, which is on both axis.
