y = 2x - 5
To find the x and y intercepts, plug in 0 for y (solving for x intercept) and 0 for x (solving for y intercept) then solve for the remaining variable.
Let's solve for the x intercept first, so plug in 0 for y.
0 = 2x - 5
Add 5 to both sides.
5 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2.
x = 5/2
Now plug in 0 for x and solve for y.
y = -5
x intercept = 5/2, y intercept = -5
