How do you graph 2x-5y equals 10?

Answer 1

The graph is a line. One say is to put it in slope intercept form. Then you have the y intercept and the slope. You can graph the y intercept then use the slope to find the next point.
So here goes:

-5y=-2x+10
so y=2/5x-2


The y intercept it -2 and the slope if 2/5 .

Plot the point (-2,0) and then go up 2 and over 5 to the right.
Now do that again and it is easy to connect the 3 dots and draw the lines.

You can also find the x intercept by letting y=0
So you have 0=2/5x-2
or 2/5x=2 so x=2(5/2)=5
So the point (5,0) is the x intercept.
