How do you write the x-intercept and y-intercept?
x-intercept: (5,0)
y-intercept: (0,2)
Explanation: Misreading of points.
Both intercepts are calculated correctly, but were not written properly. Points are usually written as an ordered pair. The first number is the x-coordinate and the second one is the y-coordinate. Therefore, if we find that the x-intercept is 5, the point should be written as (5,0) and not (0,5). Similarly, the y-intercept should be written as (0,2). Let's write the intercepts correctly.
