Think about the axis for a moment. You have the y-axis and the x-axis. The y-axis crosses the x-axis at y=0. Consequently the graph must also cross the x-axis when its equation has its y-value set to 0.
Likewise the graph will cross the y-axis when x=0
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Solving your question
To find the x-intercept set y=0 giving
[tex] - 2x + 5(0) = - 10 \\ - 2x = - 1 |?| [/tex]
Multiply both sides by ( -1) giving
[tex]2x = 10[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2 giving
[tex] \frac{2}{2} \times x = \frac{10}{2} \\ [/tex]
But [tex] \frac{2}{2} = 1 \: \\ [/tex] giving
[tex]x = \frac{10}{2} \\ [/tex]
