what are the intercepts for a line that passes through the point (5,-7)

Solution

There could be infinitely many intercepts for the line as only one point is given. We can choose any point on the xy-plane as the second point and draw a line passing through (5, -7) and the point choosen. For example, if we choose (1,0) as the second point then the intercept would be (1,0).
