Explanation:

the x-intercept is the point, where y = 0.

the y-intercept is the point, where x = 0.

6x + 7y = 10

transform into regular form

y = ax + b

7y = -6x + 10

y = -(6/7)x + 10/7

x-intercept :

0 = -(6/7)x + 10/7

0 = 6x - 10

6x = 10

x = 10/6 = 5/3

so, the x- intercept point is (5/3, 0).

y-intercept :

y = -(6/7)×0 + 10/7 = 10/7

so, the y-intercept point is (0, 10/7).
