The y intercepts are when x=0 (the line crosses the y axis) and the x intercepts are when y=0  (the line crosses the x axis). Plugging x=0 in, we get 5*0=2y+4. Subtracting 4 from both sides, we get -4=2y and by dividing both sides by 2 we get y=-2, for one intercept to be (0, -2). For the other intercept, we make y=0 to get 5x=2*0+4=4. Dividing both sides by 4, we get x=4/5, making our other intercept (4/5, 0)
