Explanation:

I used quick mafs

Answer 2

see below

Explanation:

-2x-5y=30

To find the x intercept, set y =0 and solve for x

-2x-5*0=30

-2x = 30

Divide each side by -2

-2x/-2 = 30/-2

x =-15

To find the y intercept, set x =0 and solve for y

-2*0-5y=30

-5y = 30

Divide each side by -5

-5y/-5 = 30/-5

y = -6
