Consider the linear equation 5x+2y−10=05x + 2y - 10 = 0. (i) Find the coordinates of the points where the line meets the x-axis and the y-axis. (ii) Using only these two points, accurately draw the graph of the line on a Cartesian plane and label the intercepts. (iii) Calculate the area of the triangle formed by this line and the coordinate axes.
