The equation is .

First find the y-intercept.

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

                      (Substitute x = 0) \ \

                               (Multiply: ) \ \

                          (Divide each side by negative 5) \ \

                               (Cancel common terms) \ \

                            (Divide: )

The co-ordinate point is .

Next find the x-intercept.

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

                         (Substitute y = 0)

                                 (Multiply: ) \ \

                                    (Divide each side by 2) \ \

                                  (Cancel common terms) \ \

                                        (Divide: ) \ \

The co-ordinate point is .

Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.

\
• Draw a coordinate plane.
\
• Plot the points.
\
• Draw a line through these points.
