Answer:

(-5,0) or (0,-25) is another solution

Explanation:

Do you have a list of choices? If not, you could choose random choices for x and y to determine if they are solutions. Start by letting y = 0. We see that x = -5, so (-5, 0) is a solution to this equation. In fact, it represents the x-intercept of this line. Now, let x = 0. We now see that y = -25, so (0, -25) is another solution to the equation of this line. This coordinate pair is the y-intercept of the line. Try using other values of x and y to see if you can come up with other solutions to this equation.
