So we're going to find the intercepts for this line, and the intercepts are where a line crosses an axis.
00:07
The x intercept is where the line crosses the x -axis.
00:11
And when you have a point on the x -axis, the y -coordinate there is zero.
00:17
The y -value is zero, because it's not positive or negative in that y -direction.
00:22
So what we can do is we can use that information to solve for our x value in that coordinate.
00:27
So we're going to replace y with zero and solve.
00:36
So 5x minus zero is just 5x equals negative 10.
00:42
And then i'm going to divide by my coefficient.
00:47
And i'm going to be left with x equals negative 2.
00:51
So, or negative 10 divided by 5, which is negative 2.
00:55
So this line crosses my x axis at negative 2, 0.
01:01
To define my y intercept, we're going to do the same thing, except we're looking at the opposite...
