See a solution process below:

The equation $x = - 5$ $x = -5$ represents a vertical line.

This means for each and every value of $y$ $y$ then $x$ $x$ is equal to $- 5$ $-5$

Therefore, the $x$ $x$ -intercept when $y$ $y$ equals $0$ $0$ is: $- 5$ $-5$ or $(- 5, 0)$ $(-5, 0)$

Because the value of $x$ $x$ is also $- 5$ $-5$ it will never equal $0$ $0$ therefore there is no $y$ $y$ -intercept.

We can graph the lines as:

graph{((x+5)^2+y^2-0.025)(0.000001y + 100000x+500000) = 0 [-10, 10, - 5, 5]}
