#"x-intercept "=-5/3," y-intercept "=-5/2#

Explanation:

#"to find the intercepts, that is where the graph crosses"#
#"the x and y axes"#

#• " let x = 0, in the equation for y-intercept"#

#• " let y = 0, in the equation for x-intercept"#

#x=0rArr0+4y=-10rArry=-5/2larrcolor(red)"y-intercept"#

#y=0rArr6x+0=-10rArrx=-5/3larrcolor(red)"x-intercept"#
