Work Step by Step

A linear equation: the graph is a line. Two points define a line. Plot the intercepts and the line passing through them. $\left[\begin{array}{ll} \text{x-intercepts:} & \text{y-intercepts:}\\ 5x+2(0)=10 & 5(0)+2y=10\\ 5x=10 & 2y=10\\ x=2 & y=5\\ (2,0) & (0,5)\\ & \end{array}\right]$
