Step1: Find x-intercept (set $y=0$)
Set $y=0$, so $\frac{x+2}{2x-7}=0$. A rational function equals 0 when its numerator is 0 (denominator ≠0).
Solve $x+2=0$
$x=-2$
Check denominator: $2(-2)-7=-4-7=-11≠0$, so valid.
Step2: Find y-intercept (set $x=0$)
Set $x=0$, substitute into $y=\frac{x+2}{2x-7}$
$y=\frac{0+2}{2(0)-7}=\frac{2}{-7}=-\frac{2}{7}$
