Find any intercepts. Then graph the linear equation.
  2x - 5y = 5

To find the x-intercept, substitute 0 for y

  2x - 5y = 5
2x - 5(0) = 5
   2x - 0 = 5
       2x = 5
        x =  
        x =  

So the x-intercept is the point (, ) 
So mark a point at  on the x-axis.
 is halfway between 2 and 3, so mark a
point there on the x-axis, like this:

 

To find the y-intercept, substitute 0 for x

  2x - 5y = 5
2(0) - 5y = 5
   0 - 5y = 5
      -5y = 5
        y =  
        y =  

So the y-intercept is the point (, ) 
So mark a point at  on the y-axis, like this:



Now get a ruler and draw a line through those two
points, like this:



That's it!
