The x-intercepts are where the graph crosses the x-axis, and the y-intercepts are where the graph crosses the y-axis.

Then, algebraically,

• an x-intercept is a point on the graph where y is zero, and
• a y-intercept is a point on the graph where x is zero.

More specifically,

• an x-intercept is a point in the equation where the y-value is zero, and
• a y-intercept is a point in the equation where the x-value is zero.

To find the x-intercept, plug in $y=0$in the equation $2x+5y=10$ and solve for x.

$$\begin{gathered} 2x+5y=10 \\ 2x+5â‹\dots 0=10\text{ â¶Ä‰}[\text{Plug â¶Ä‰in â¶Ä‰}y=0] \\ 2x+0=10\text{ } \\ 2x=10\text{ } \\ \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{10}{2} \\ x=5 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, x-intercept is $x=5$.

Now to find the y-intercept, plug in $x=0$ in the equation$2x+5y=10$ and solve for y.

$$\begin{gathered} 2x+5y=10 \\ 2â‹\dots 0+5y=10\text{ â¶Ä‰}[\text{Plug â¶Ä‰in â¶Ä‰}x=0] \\ 0+5y=10\text{ } \\ 5y=10 \\ \frac{5y}{5}\text{ }=\frac{10}{5} \\ y=2 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, y-Intercept is $y=2$.

Graph the line$2x+5y=10$ with x and y intercepts points are $\left(5,0\right)$and $\left(0,\text{2}\right)$.
