x-intercept is 5; y-intercept is negative 10.
x-intercept is 8; y-intercept is negative 4.
x-intercept is negative 10; y-intercept is 5.
x-intercept is negative 4; y-intercept is 8.
To find the x-intercept, we set y equal to zero and solve for x.
-10x + 5(0) = 40
-10x = 40
x = -4
To find the y-intercept, we set x equal to zero and solve for y.
-10(0) + 5y = 40
5y = 40
y = 8
Therefore, the x-intercept is -4 and the y-intercept is 8.
