find the x and y intercept of 5x+2y+10

Making assumptions is always a bad idea, but
I will assume that the equation equals zero.

find the x and y intercept of 5x+2y+10=0

At the x-intercept, y = 0, so we would have
5x + 2(0) + 10 = 0
5x + 10 = 0
5x = -10
x = -2

At the y-intercept, x = 0, so
5(0) + 2y + 10 = 0
2y + 10 = 0
2y = -10
y = -5
