The equation is .

                  (Subtract 2x from each side)

Rearrange the terms using ommutative property of addition:.

                               (Apply additive inverse property: )

                        (Divide each side by 5)

                             (Cancel common terms)

               (Multiply each side by negative one)

                             (Product of two same signs is positive)

First find the y-intercept.

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

                         (Substitute x = 0 in original equation)

                                       (Apply zero product property: )

                                      (Divide: )

The y-intercept is , 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)

               (Multiply each side by 5)

                            (Cancel common terms)

                                (Apply zero product property: )

                    (Add 1 to each side)

                                          (Apply additive inverse property: )

                                     (Divide each side by 2)

                                          (Cancel common terms)

                                        (Divide: )

The x-intercept is 0.5, so the graph intersects the x-axis at (0.5, 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.
