To find the x-intercept of the line, set y = 0 and solve for x:


\begin{gathered} x-y=5 \\ x-0=5 \\ x=5 \\ \text{ Then, the x-intercept is the point }(5,0) \end{gathered}

To find the y-intercept of the line, set x = 0 and solve for y:


\begin{gathered} x-y=5 \\ 0-y=5 \\ -y=5 \\ \text{ Multiply by -1 from both sides of the equation} \\ -y\cdot-1=5\cdot-1 \\ y=-5 \\ \text{ Then, the y-intercept is the point }(0,-5) \end{gathered}

Finally, to graph the line, locate these two points on the Cartesian plane and then join them:
