Answer:

C

Explanation:

The x- intercept is where the line crosses the x- axis. At this point on the x- axis the y- coordinate is zero.

To find the x- intercept let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x, that is

5x - 2 = 0 ( add 2 to both sides )

5x = 2 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x =
(2)/(5) ← x- intercept

coordinates of x- intercept are (
(2)/(5) , 0 ) → C
