\

First find the y-intercept.

\

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

\

\"\"                      (Substitute x = 0 in original equation)

\

\"\"                                     (Apply multiplication property of zero: \"\")

\

The y-intercept is 5, so the graph intersects the y-axis at \"\". \"\"

\

Next find the x-intercept.

\

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

\

\"\"                         (Substitute y = 0 in original equation)

\

Apply addition property of equality: Add 1.6x to each side.

\

\"\"

\"\"                      (Divide each side by 1.6)

\

\"\"                              (Cancel common terms)

\

\"\"                                (Divide: \"\")

\

The x-intercept is 3.1, so the graph intersects the x-axis at \"\".\"\"

\

Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.

\

1.     Draw a coordinate plane.

\

2.     Plot the points.

\

3.     Draw a line through these points.
