Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You could sit and pick an x, then find the y and plot it but the
fastest way to graph with this form is to find your x and y interepts.
The x intercept occurs when y=0.

First point is (-10/3,0).
The y intercept occurs when x=0.

Second point is (0,10).
Graph those 2 points. You only need two points to define a line.

Then draw the line that goes through those two points.
