The x intercept is $- 2/5$ There is no y intercept. .

This line is a vertical line. Its slope is undefined. It crosses the x axis at $-2/5$ because that is the value of x for the entire line.

As the line is a vertical line it is parallel to the y axis which is also vertical. This means the lines will never meet. There is no y intercept.

How do you find the x and y intercepts for x = - 2/5x = - 2/5?
