Step 1.1

To find the x-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $y$ and solve for $x$ .

$x + 0 = 5$

Step 1.2

Add $x$ and $0$ .

$x = 5$

Step 1.3

x-intercept(s) in point form.

x-intercept(s): $(5, 0)$

Step 2

Find the y-intercepts.

Step 2.1

To find the y-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $x$ and solve for $y$ .

$(0) + y = 5$

Step 2.2

Add $0$ and $y$ .

$y = 5$

Step 2.3

y-intercept(s) in point form.

y-intercept(s): $(0, 5)$

Step 3
