Answer:

Your x-intercept would be E, -4

Step-by-Step

To find the x-intercept, set y=0.

Our problem:

y=5x+20

0=5x+20

To get the variable term on its own you need to move your 20 over by subtracting it from the right and moving to the left making it -20.

-20=5x

Divide by 5 to get x on its own

-20/5= 5x/5

-4=x

x=-4
