The equation is .

First find the y-intercept.

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

                                   (Substitute x = 0 in original equation)

                                                  (Apply Additive inverse property: a + 0 = a)

                                               (Divide each side by negative 5)

                                                       (Cancel common terms)

The y-intercept is 1 , so the graph intersects the y-axis at (0, 1 ).

Next find the x-intercept.

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

                                   (Substitute y = 0 in original equation)

                                               (Apply Additive inverse property: a + 0 = a)

                                         (Divide each side by negative 2)

                                              (Cancel common terms)

The x-intercept is , so the graph intersects the x-axis at (  , 0).

Graph Using Intercepts:
