The expression is .

\

The equation is in slope-intercept form y = mx + c.

To graph the equation, first graph the .

According to subtraction property of equality: if , then .

             (Subtract 2x from each side) \ \

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

                              (Additive inverse property: )

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 (0, 10) \ \

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

According to addition property of equality: if a = b, then a + c = b + c.

        (Add 2x to each side) \

                          (Additive inverse property: )

                                (Additive identity property: )

According to division property of equality: if , then .

                          (Divide each side by 2)

                               (Cancel common terms)

x = 5                                    ((Divide: )                                                

The co-ordinate point is (5, 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.
