Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

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

2x - 5(0) = 30

2x = 30 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 15 ← x- intercept

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

2(0) - 5y = 30

- 5y = 30 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

y = - 6 ← y- intercept
