Answer:

y-intercept (0, -3) and x-intercept (3/2, 0)

Explanation:

y + 5 =2(x + 1)

y + 5 =2x + 2

subtract 5 from both side

y =2x -3

-3 is the y-intercept because in y=mx+b, b is the y-intercept and it always starts at 0.

To find the x-intercept, we need to plug in 0 for y in y =2x -3

0=2x -3

add 3 to both sides

2x=3

divide both sides by 2

x=3/2 and so the x-intercept is 3/2 and it always starts at 0.
