Find the x-and y-intercepts of this equation.
$$\displaystyle{k}{\left({x}\right)}=-{5}{x}+{1}$$

Calculation:
Consider the following function
$$\displaystyle{k}{\left({x}\right)}=-{5}{x}+{1}$$
For x-intercept put $$\displaystyle{k}{\left({x}\right)}={0}$$
$$\displaystyle{0}=-{5}{x}+{1}$$
$$\displaystyle{5}{x}={1}$$
$$\displaystyle{x}={\frac{{{1}}}{{{5}}}}$$
Hence, the x-intercept is at $$\displaystyle{\left({\frac{{{1}}}{{{5}}}},{0}\right)}$$
For y-intercept put $$\displaystyle{x}={0}$$
$$\displaystyle{k}{\left({0}\right)}=—{5}{\left({0}\right)}+{1}={1}$$
Hence, the y-intercept is at (0, 1)

To solve this, the first thing I did was find the general solutionto the homogeneous equivalent, and got
$$\displaystyle{c}_{{1}}{e}^{{-{5}\frac{{x}}{{2}}}}+{c}_{{2}}{e}^{{{3}\frac{{x}}{{2}}}}$$
Then i used the form $$\displaystyle{K}{\cos{{\left({w}{x}\right)}}}+{M}{\sin{{\left({w}{x}\right)}}}$$ and got $$\displaystyle-{2.72}{\cos{{\left({5}{x}\right)}}}+{2.56}{\sin{{\left({5}{x}\right)}}}$$ as a solution of the nonhomogeneous ODE
