The equation is .

First find the y-intercept.

The y-intercept is the value of y, when x = 0.

                 (Substitute x = 0 in original equation)

                         (Zeroproduct property: )

                   (Divide each side by negative 5)

                           (Cancel common terms)

                           (Divide: )

The y-intercept is , so the graph intersects the y-axis at (0, ).

Next find the x-intercept.

The x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0.

                                  (Substitute y = 0 in original equation)

                                             (Zeroproduct property: )

                                        (Divide each side by 8)

                                             (Cancel common terms)

                                                (Divide: )

The x-intercept is 10, so the graph intersects the x-axis at ( 10 , 0).

Graph Using Intercepts:

Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.

1.     Draw a coordinate plane.

2.     Plot the points.

3.     Draw a line through these points.
