In order to graph this equation, we only need two points to create a straight line

So let's pick simple values to plug into x

Start with the given equation

Plug in (you can start with any number, but zero is the easiest number to work with)

Multiply

Subtract

So when , the value of y is . This means we have the first point (0,-4)

-------------Now let's find another point------------

Start with the given equation

Plug in (since the denominator is 5, choosing the value of 5 makes the fraction go away)

Multiply

Reduce

Subtract

So when , the value of y is . This means we have the second point (5,2)

So we have the two points (0,-4) and (5,2)

Now plot these two points on a coordinate system

Now draw a straight line through them. This line is the graph of
