Find the axis intercepts for the line with equation 2x-5y=10 and hence draw a graph of this line?

2x – 5y = 10
to find for the x intercept, substitute 0 for y then solve for x
2x – 5y = 10
2x – 5(0) = 10
2x = 10
divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = 10/2
x = 5
(5,0)

to find for the y-intercept, substitute 0 for x then solve for y
2x – 5y = 10
2(0) – 5y = 10
-5y = 10
divide both sides by -5
-5y/-5 = 10/-5
y = -2
(0,-2)
