The x-intercept is 10.
The y-intercept is 10.

$x + y = 10$ $x+y=10$

The x-intercept is the value of $x$ $x$ when $y = 0$ $y=0$ .

$x + 0 = 10$ $x+0=10$

$x = 10$ $x=10$

The y-intercept is the value of $y$ $y$ when $x = 0$ $x=0$ .

$0 + y = 10$ $0+y=10$

$y = 10$ $y=10$

graph{x+y=10 [-13.82, 13.42, -3.13, 10.49]}
