First arrange the equation so that there are no other terms with the x and y terms. Do this by getting rid of the number term (-10) by adding 10 to both sides. It now says 2x + 5y = 10. Whenever the x and y term are alone on one side of the equation, then you do the following to find the intercepts: For the x-intercept, plug in 0 for y and solve for x. It now becomes 2x + 5(0) = 10. x = 5. For the y-intercept, plug in 0 for x and solve for y. It now becomes 2(0) + 5y = 10. y = 2. (Note that you always plug in 0 for the other letter than the intercept you are looking for.) The answer is x-int.: 5, and y-int.: 2.
