the x intercept is where the line crosses the x axis or where y=0

the y intercept is where the line crosses the y axis or where x=0



x intercept:

set y=0 and solve for x

2y+1=3x+5

2(0)+1=3x+5

1=3x+5

-4=3x

x=-4/3

x intercept is at (-4/3,0)


y intercept:

set x=0 and solve for y

2y+1=3x+5

2y+1=3(0)+5

2y+1=5

2y=4

y=2

y intercept is at (0,2)
