Answer

So, the x-intercept is \(\boxed{-5}\) and the y-intercept is \(\boxed{\frac{7}{2}}\).

Steps

Step 1 :Find the x-intercept by setting y = 0 in the equation -7x + 10y = 35.

Step 2 :Solving for x, we get x = -5.

Step 3 :Find the y-intercept by setting x = 0 in the equation -7x + 10y = 35.

Step 4 :Solving for y, we get y = \(\frac{7}{2}\).

Step 5 :So, the x-intercept is \(\boxed{-5}\) and the y-intercept is \(\boxed{\frac{7}{2}}\).
