The student is incorrect, the actual x-intercept is (5, 0).

Is the student correct or incorrect?

Here we have the equation:

x + 2y = 5

The student says that the x-intercept is the point (0, 5).

So if you look at the point you already can see that the student is incorrect, this is because the x-intercept always must have a y-value of 0. (the graph only intercepts the x-axis when y = 0).

So the point (0, 5) can't be an x-intercept.

For the given function:

x +2y = 5

The x-intercept is given by:

x + 2*0 = 5

x = 5

So it is (5 , 0).
