x-intercept is #(2,0)#

y-intercept is #(0, -10)#

There are several ways to do this problem. Here is one way:

x-intercepts are where #y=0# and y-intercepts are where #x=0#

Thus if we plug in those values for #y# and #x# respectively into the equation we can find our intercepts.

First let #y=0#:

#0=5x-10#

#10=5x#

#2=x#

So our x-intercept is #(2,0)#

Then let #x=0#:

#y=5(0)-10#

#y=0-10#

#y=-10#

So our y-intercept is #(0, -10)#
