The expression is .

The equation is in slope-intercept form.

To graph the equation, first graph the .

According to subtraction property of equality: if , then .

       (Subtract 5x from each side)

       (Commutative property: a + b = b + a)

                     (Additive inverse property: )

 (Multiply each side by negative one)

              (Product of two same signs is positive)

(Distributive property: a(b c) = ab ac)

                    (Product of two same signs is positive)

First find the y-intercept.

The y-intercept is the value of y, when x = 0.

                            (Zero product property: )

                                  (Additive identity property: )

Next find the x-intercept        

The co-ordinate point is

The x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0.

       (Add 35 to each side)

                            (Cancel common terms)

                                  (Additive identity property: )

                             (Divide each side by 5)

                                  (Cancel common terms)

x = 7                                       (Divide: )

Next find the y-intercept.

The co-ordinate point is (7, 0)

Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.

1.     Draw a coordinate plane.

2.     Plot the points.

3.     Draw a line through these points.
