Finding x- and y- intercepts of a linear equation?

Question

i need help on knowing HOW to do the problem

i've searched on the internet and im still having a hard time grasping how to do it

1.y=-5x+10

2.y=1/2x-4

Answer 1

All you need to know, is in order to solve for the x intercept you set Y = 0

and to solve for the y intercept you set x= 0

If you wanted to solve for the y intercept in the first example set x = 0

y = 5(0) + 10

So the y intercept would be 10
