The point-slope form:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

We have the point (5, 18) and m = 2.

Substitute:

[tex]y-18=2(x-5)[/tex]

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b

[tex]y-18=(2)(x)+(2)(-5)\\y-18=2x-10\qquad|+18\\y=2x+8[/tex]

x-intercept:

substitute y = 0 to the equation of the function:

[tex]0=2x+8\qquad|-8\\-8=2x\qquad|:2\\x=-4[/tex]

y-intercept:

substitute x = 0 to the equation of the function:

[tex]y=2(0)+8\\y=8[/tex]

Answer:

x-intercept = -4

y-intercept = 8
