x-axis: (2.5 , 0)
y-axis: (0 , 5)
Explanation:
Since this is a linear function with a form
How to solve interception with x-axis:
Here you know that y = 0, and this gives you
Divide both by two
How to solve interception with y-axis:
Here you know that x = 0, and this gives you:
Therefore, you get interception points at (2.5 , 0) and (0 , 5).
