Answer:

X - intercept : (-9 1/2 , 0)

Y - intercept : (0 , 12)

Explanation:

X - intercept is when y = 0

Y - intercept is when x = 0

X - intercept, plug in y values for 0 and solve for x.

y-5=2(x+7)

0 - 5 = 2(x+7)

-5 = 2(x+7)

-5 = 2x + 14

-19 = 2x

-9 1/2

(-9 1/2 , 0)

Y-intercept, do the same you did for x-intercept but replace x value with 0 instead and solve for y:

y - 5 = 2(0+7)

y - 5 = 0 + 7

y - 5 = 7

y = 12

(0 , 12)
