ANSWER:
y intercept = (0,-6/5)
x intercept = (-3,0)


Step-by-step explanation:
To find the y intercept you have to substitute the x with zero because the y intercept always lies on the y axis which means that they will always have the coordinates (0,y)
The same goes for the x intercept. To find the x intercept you have to substitute the y with zero because the x intercept always lies on the x axis which means that they will always have the coordinates (x,0)


WORKING OUT:
Given=2x+5x= -6

The y intercept)
x=0
2(0)+5y= -6
5y= -6
y = -6/5 (divide each side of the equation by t to get the y alone)
y intercept = (0,-6/5)

The x intercept)
y=0
2x+5(0)= -6
2x= -6
x = -3 (divide each side of the equation by t to get the x alone)
x intercept = (-3,0)
