It is the location where the line intersects the x-axis.
By definition, at the x-axis, y=0.
Thus when y=0, find that x=-2
Thus the x-intercept is the coordinate, (x,y) (-2,0)

Hey Butchie-boy ... you just threw several of these problems out there without even trying them, you are going to fail math if you do not start doing some work ... this is a boneheaded simple problem, it took you more energy to type it in that it would to solve it ... if you do not get this easy stuff you are not going to pass, and forget about other classes ... it does not pay to be lazy.
Rearrage the equation to solve for y, and the equate y equal to zero ... that is THE x-intercept in a linear equation. Better get this down, wait til you get to second degree equations and higher.

In the case of x intercept the value of y will be zero.
So if we put y=0 in the given equation we will get x= -2

First: replace "0" with the y-variable...
x - 5(0) = - 2
x - 0 = - 2
x = - 2
>>> (-2,0)
The x-intercept is a point that lies on the x-axis.

just make y= 0 and figure it out from there
