In order to find the x-intercept of the function, you need to evaluate the function for y = 0, so:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x+5y=-10 \\ y=0 \\ 2x+5(0)=-10 \\ 2x=-10 \\ x=-\frac{10}{2} \\ x=-5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, the x-intercept is x = -5

In order to find the y-intercept of the function, you need to evaluate the function for x = 0, so:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x+5y=-10 \\ x=0 \\ 2(0)+5y=-10 \\ 5y=-10 \\ y=-\frac{10}{5} \\ y=-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept is y = -2
