FOR X INTERCEPT WE KNOW THAT Y WILL BE A AT THE AXIS LINE WE CAN SUBSTITUTE THW VALUE O IN THE PLACE OF Y TO GET X-INTERCEPT


2x - 5(0) = 10 \\ 2x = 10 \\ (2x)/(2) = (10)/(2) \\ x = 5

5 is the x-intercept

(5,0)

FOR Y INTERCEPT ON THE Y AXIS X IS EQUAL TO 0 WE CAN PLUG IN TO FIND THE VALUE OF THE Y -INTERCEPT IN THE EQUATION


2(0) - 5y = 10 \\ - 5y = 10 \\ ( - 5y)/( - 5) = (10)/( - 5) \\ y = - 2

-2 is the Y-intercept

(0,-2)

Hope this helps
