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 identity property: a + 0 = 0)

                                       (Divide: )

The y-intercept is 3, so the graph intersects the y-axis at (0, 2.5).

Next find the x-intercept.

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

                           (Substitute y = 0 in original equation)

                                 (Multiply: )

                                       (Apply additive identity property: )

The x-intercept is 10, so the graph intersects the x-axis at (10, 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.
