Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Finding the \( y \)-intercept
To find the \( y \)-intercept, we set \( x = 0 \) in the equation \( y - 3 = 5(x - 2) \). Substituting \( x = 0 \):
\[
y - 3 = 5(0 - 2) \implies y - 3 = -10 \implies y = -7
\]
Thus, the \( y \)-intercept is:
\[
(0, -7)
\]
Step 2: Finding the \( x \)-intercept
To find the \( x \)-intercept, we set \( y = 0 \) in the equation \( y - 3 = 5(x - 2) \). Substituting \( y = 0 \):
