#x# intercept is #(6,0) # , #y# intercept is # (0,8 2/5)#

Explanation:

Putting #x=0#, we can get y intercept as # 5 y=42 or y=42/5#
So y intercept is #(0,42/5) or (0,8 2/5)#

Putting #y=0#, we can get y intercept as #7x=42 or x=6#
So x intercept is #(6,0) # graph{-7/5x +42/5 [-40, 40, -20, 20]}[Ans]
