$x-intercept = - \frac{5}{2}$ $color(blue)("x-intercept" = -5/2$

The x-intercepts are where the graph crosses the x-axis, and the y-intercepts are where the graph crosses the y-axis.

In the same way, the x-axis is also the line "y = 0".

Given : $y = 2 x + 5$ $y = 2x + 5$

For getting x intercept, make $y = 0$ $y = 0$ in the given equation.

$2 x + 5 = 0$ $2x + 5 = 0$

$2 x = - 5$ $2 x = -5$ or $x-intercept = - \frac{5}{2}$ $color(blue)("x-intercept" = -5/2$

Similarly, $y- intercept is obtained by making x = 0$ $"y- intercept is obtained by making " x = 0$

$y = 0 + 5 = 5$ $y = 0 + 5 = 5$

graph{2x + 5 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
