1. **State the problem:** Find the intercepts of the line given by the equation $$y = 5x - 13$$.
2. **Recall the intercept definitions:**
- The **y-intercept** is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, so $x=0$.
- The **x-intercept** is the point where the line crosses the x-axis, so $y=0$.
3. **Find the y-intercept:**
Substitute $x=0$ into the equation:
$$y = 5(0) - 13 = 0 - 13 = -13$$
So the y-intercept is at the point $\boxed{(0, -13)}$.
4. **Find the x-intercept:**
Substitute $y=0$ into the equation:
$$0 = 5x - 13$$
Add 13 to both sides:
$$13 = 5x$$
Divide both sides by 5:
$$x = \frac{13}{5}$$
Show cancellation:
$$x = \cancel{\frac{13}{\cancel{5}}}$$
So the x-intercept is at the point $\boxed{\left(\frac{13}{5}, 0\right)}$.
**Final answers:**
- y-intercept: $(0, -13)$
- x-intercept: $\left(\frac{13}{5}, 0\right)$
