Answer:

Look below.

Explanation:

In order to find these intercepts you have to know that you have to substitute y and x for zero to find the intercept. Look below to see the steps.

X-intercept:

(substitute y for 0 in the equation and use order of operations to solve)

−5x+2y−10=0

−5x+2(0)−10=0

x=-2

Y-intercept:

(substitute x for 0 in the equation and use order of operations to solve)

−5x+2y−10=0

−5(0)+2y−10=0

y=5
