(4/5,0)

Explanation:

The x-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis. Take note that at the x-axis, the value of y is 0.

So, to find the x-intercept, we will simply set y to 0, then solve for the value of x.

[1]" "5x-3y=4

Let y=0.

[2]" "5x-3(0)=4

[3]" "5x=4

[4]" "x=4/5

So now we know that the value of x when the graph crosses the x-axis is 4/5.

The x-intercept would then be the point (4/5,0)
