How do you graph 2x plus 5y 10?

Answer 1

2x+5y=10

is the same as

5y=-2x+10

Now divide both sides by 5

y=-2/5x+2

So the graph is a line with y intercept of 2 and slope of -2/5.

Let's find at least 3 points in order to draw the graph of y = -(2/5)x + 2.

y-intercept = 2 yields the point (0, 2)

y = 0 yields the point (5, 0) which is the x-intercept.

x = -1 yields the point (-1, 2.4)

x = 1 yields the point (1, 1.6)

Now you can graph the line that passes through the points that you obtained.
It's a straight from (0/2) to (5/0).
