Answer:

(0, 2), (2/5, 0)

Explanation:

In this slope-intercept form, the y-intercept is the constant in the equation: 2. That is the point of intersection on the y-axis is (0, 2).

__

When y=0, the value of x is the x-intercept.

0 = -5x +2

5x = 2 . . . . . . add 5x

x = 2/5 . . . . . divide by 5

The point of intersection of the graph with the x-axis is (2/5, 0).
