Answer:

y- intercept (0, -1.2)

x- intercept (-3, 0)

Explanation:

Line is given:

  • 2x + 5y = -6

Y- intercept:

When x= 0

  • 2*0 + 5y = -6
  • 5y = -6
  • y = -6/5
  • y = -1.2

Point is (0, -1.2)

X- intercept:

When y = 0

  • 2x + 5*0 = -6
  • 2x = -6
  • x = -6/2
  • x = -3

Point is (-3, 0)
