graph{y-10=-5x [2,0]}
Coordinates(2,0)

Explanation:

x-intercept means that y=0
Substitute y=0
-5x=-10
x=2
So coordinate of x-intercept is (2,0)

Or, you can draw the graph and see where the line intersects the x-axis

graph{-5x+10 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

The x-intercept is x=2.

Explanation:

Use the equation to solve for y to get

y=-5x+10

To easily graph the equation, find the y-intercept and continue the line using the slope from the y-intercept. The y-intercept is (0,10) (set x=0 and solve for y).

To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x. Solving for x would give the value of x=2,
