Answer:

x intercept is 15 and y intercept is -3.75

Explanation:

The first thing is to form equation with the given tow point using the formula

y-y1/x - x1 = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1

y + 5/x + 5 = -2 + 5/7 + 5

y + 5/x + 5 = 3/ 12

3x + 15 = 12y + 60

12y - 3x = -45

On x intercept y = 0

x = 15

On y intercept x = 0

y = -3.75
