Determine if this question is linear or not, then graph the equation
y = 5x
----------
It is linear because it fits the form y = mx+b
------------
Graph:
Plot two points:
If x = 0, y = 5*0 = 0
If x = 1, y = 5*1 = 5
--------
This gives you two points (0,0) and (1,5)
Plot them and dras a line thru them.
That is the graph you want.
