Short Answer

Expert verified

The x-intercept is 1,0

The y-intercept is0,-5

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Definition 

The x-intercept is the point where a line crosses the x-axis, and the y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis.

02

Step 2. Calculating x-intercept 

To find x-intercept, let y=0

⇒5x-0=5

⇒x=1

So, the x-intercept is1,0

03

Step 3. Calculating y-intercept 

To find y-intercept, let x=0

⇒50-y=5

⇒y=-5

So, the y-intercept is0,-5
