(5x+y)/a = 2
I'll assume you want to solve for y:
5x+y= 2a
y = -5x + 2a
This would represent a straight line with slope = -5 and y-intercept = 2a

So you have this math problem:

(5x+y)/a = 2, right?

Use the "more info" function to tell us more about the problem. What are you trying to solve for?

Neither do I. What, exactly, are you being asked to do? Solve for a particular variable?
