Answer :

The x-intercept of an equation is the point where the graph intersects the x-axis, meaning the y-coordinate is zero. Similarly, the y-intercept is where the graph intersects the y-axis, so the x-coordinate is zero. To find the x-intercept, set y to 0 in the equation 5x - 2y = 10: 5x - 2(0) = 10 5x = 10 x = 2 Therefore, the x-intercept is (2, 0). To find the y-intercept, set x to 0 in the equation: 5(0) - 2y = 10 -2y = 10 y = -5 Hence, the y-intercept is (0, -5). Therefore, the correct answer choices are: - x-intercept: (2, 0) - y-intercept: (0, -5)
