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!
