Answer:

The x intercept is (-2,0)

The y intercept is (0,5)

Explanation:

10x - 4y = -20

To find the x intercept

Set y=0

10x -0 =-20

10x/10 = -20/10

x =-2

The ordered pair is (-2,0)

10x - 4y = -20

To find the y intercept

Set x=0

0 - 4y =-20

-4y/-4 = -20/-4

y = 5

The ordered pair is (0,5)
