10x = -5y

first find out what (y) and (x) equals

y = -2x

x = -1/2 y

now put zero for x in the y-equation and this will give you the y-intercept

y = -2*0 therefore the y-intercept is y=0

now put zero for y in the x-equation and this will give you the x-intercept

y = -1/2 * 0 therfore the x-intercept is also x=0

this means your line will go through the origin (0,0)

you can not really find out the whole graph of a line from just the intercepts

==============================================

True. It's not possible to graph a line from the intercepts alone ... if the line

goes through the origin, because in only that special case, both intercepts

are the same point.

But in every other case, the two intercepts give you two points, which give you the whole straight line.

Just remember: At the x-intercept, 'y' is zero. And at the y-intercept, 'x' is zero.

What does it mean if a TI-83 plus calculator says invalid dim and won't graph anything?

This most likely means that a stat plot is on, and that a list that the stat plot was using is blank. (If you get a DIM MISMATCH error, it probably means that the lists that the stat plot was using don't have the same number of values.) If you are trying to graph the stat plot, go back and look at your data in the lists. If you are not trying to graph a stat plot, then press 2ND STAT PLOT (above Y=) and select Plots Off. Press ENTER until you see "Done". Then try to graph again.
