The x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis, much like how the y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis.
x-intercept => y = 0
y-intercept => x = 0
You're asking for x-intercept, which means that B is out. The point for which x = -5 and y = 0 is the point (-5, 0).
So, your answer is C: (-5,0).

x intercept means that -5 is on the x axis.
when graphing points, first go left and right, then up and down. we know that x is -5 and since it's on the x axis, y must be 0, so
(-5,0)
I hope that this helps.

The equation for a line is y = mx + b, m being the slope and b being the y intercept. First you will possibly be able to desire to make certain the slope. you have the standards (0,-2) and (5,0). Slope is the replace in y over the replace in x. Y went from 0 to -2 and x replaced from 5 to 0. hence your slope is two/5. Now you place all the recommendations you comprehend into the equation y=mx+b. -2= (2/5)(5) + b -2=2 + b -4=b so, your equation is y=2/5x - 4.

An x-intercept of -5 would be (-5,0) as a point.

Oh, no. Go back to your earlier questions and see how it's done. Figure this one out for yourself.
Remember that a y-intercept has an x-value of zero. What y-value will an x-intercept have? Do you know what an "intercept" is? You'd better ask your teacher.
You have some contradictory answers already, so you have to do the work yourself.

At x-intercept, the coordinate of y is zero. Therefore, the right answer is C.

since intercept is on x so c)(-5,0)

C. x is equal to 5, and y is equal to zero (it's on the x-axis)

Depends. What's your slope?
