Answer:

x-intercept: (7/5, 0)

y-intercept: (0, 14)

Explanation:

The x intercept is when y is equal to 0.

1/2(0) + 5x = 7

5x = 7

x = 7/5

Put this into point form, where x is 7/5 and y is 0.

(7/5, 0)

The y intercept is when x is equal to 0.

1/2y + 5(0) = 7

1/2y = 7

y = 14

Put this into point form, where x is 0 and y is 14.

(0, 14)
