since its a straight line you can set x=0 to find the y intercept, set y=0 to find the x intercept and join them together and there you have it

If you want to graph the line, use point plotting or simply substitution - 5x - 2y = 10 If x = 0 Step 1: - 5x - 2y = 10 Step 2: 0 - 2y = 10 Step 3: -2y/-2 = 10/-2 Step 4: y = -5 Therefore, (0,-5) If y = 0 Step 1: - 5x - 2y = 10 Step 2: - 5x - 0 = 10 Step 3: -5x/-5 = 10/-5 Step 4: x = -2 Therefore, (-2,0) That's the graph of the equation You can also substitute x or y by any values like -4,-3,-2,-1 or even 1,2,3,4, However, zero is enough for this kind of equations

Ok?
Plug in a number for x and determine what that makes y.
Then graph the numbers.
Here:
x y
------
0 5
1 1
2 0
4 -5
-2 10
-4 15
There. Now graph these numbers and you're gravy.
Hope this helps!

to get x state y=0
-5x=-10
x=2
to get y sate x=0
-2y=-10
y=5
so your line is going to cut the x-axes at 2 and the y-axes at 5

5x + 2y = 10
This is the equation of a straight line.
To draw the line, two points are required.
Points could be (0,5) , (2,0)
Line can then be drawn through these points.

graph it on what?
there isn't a grid here
it simplifies to y= -5/2x + 5
