The graph of the equation $y=2x+5$ not symmetric to the x-axis, y-axis and origin.
Consider the equation, $y=2x+5$ Check symmetry about the y-axis: An equation is symmetric about the y-axis if $-x$ is substituted in the function and the result is an equivalent equation then the graph of the equation is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. Substitute $x=-x$ in the equation, \begin{align} & y=2\left( -x \right)+5 \\ & y=-2x+5 \end{align} Therefore, the equation is not symmetric about the y-axis Now, check symmetry about the x-axis: An equation is symmetric about the x-axis, if $-y$ is substituted in the function and it leads to an equivalent equation than the graph is symmetric with respect to the x-axis. Substitute $y=-y$ , \begin{align} & \left( -y \right)=2x+5 \\ & -y=2x+5 \end{align} Therefore, the equation is not symmetric about the x-axis. Now, check symmetry about the origin: An equation is symmetric about origin if $x=-x,y=-y$ and it leads to an equivalent equation, this implies that the function is symmetric about the origin. Substitute $x=-x,y=-y$ \begin{align} & \left( -y \right)=2\left( -x \right)+5 \\ & -y=-2x+5 \end{align} Therefore, the equation is not symmetric about the origin Hence, the equation is symmetric about the x-axis, y-axis and origin.
