Answer:
Both the x and y intercepts are -5.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the y-intercept, rearrange to y-intercept form: y = mx + b
-2x - 2y = 10
Isolate y.
-2y = 2x + 10 <= divide both sides by -2
y = -x - 5
The b value, -5, is the y-intercept.
(0, -5)
To find the x-intercept, substitute y for 0.
-2x - 2y = 10
-2x - 2(0) = 10
Simplify and isolate x.
-2x - 0 = 10
-2x = 10
x = -5
(-5, 0)
