Answer:

x - intercept = 10 , y- intercept = 4

Explanation:

to find the x- intercept , let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x

2x + 5(0) = 20

2x + 0 = 20

2x = 20 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 10

the x- intercept = 10 or (10, 0 ) in coordinate form

to find the y- intercept , let x = 0 in the equation and solve for y

2(0) + 5y = 20

0 + 5y = 20

5y = 20 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = 4

the y- intercept = 4 or (0, 4 ) in coordinate form
