How do you find the x and y intercepts for #5x - 2y = 20#? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Intercepts by Substitution 1 Answer MeneerNask Nov 18, 2015 Use #x=0# and #y=0# in turns Explanation: #x=0, y#-intercept #5*0-2y=20->y=-10->(0,-10)# #y=0, x#-intercept #5x-2*0=20->x=4->(4,0)# Answer link Related questions What is the x and y Intercepts?
