-10x-6y-120=0
so i think x axis = -a/b = --10/-6= -5/3
and y intercept = -c/b = --120/-6=-20

-10x - 6y = 120

The x intercept is the value of x, when y = 0.

-10x - 6y = 120

-10x -6*(0) =120

-10x - 0 = 120

-10x = 120

x = 120/-10 =-12

x = -12, x intercept = -12

y intercept is the value of y, when x = 0

-10x - 6y = 120

-10*(0) - 6y = 120

0 - 6y =120

-6y =120

y = 120/-6 =-20

y =-20 y intercept = -20

Hope this explains it.
