Answer:

x - intercept = 2

Explanation:

the x- intercept is the point on the x- axis where the line crosses it.

the y- coordinate of any point on the x- axis is zero.

substitute y = 0 into the equation and solve for x

5x - 7y = 10 ( substitute y = 0 )

5x - 7(0) = 10

5x + 0 = 10

5x = 10 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 2 ← x- intercept , or (0, 2 ) in coordinate form
