x=5 is a vertical line
x=5y
y=x/5
is a line with slope 1/5 and goes through the origin.
0,0 is a point
5,1 is another point
You only need two points to graph a line. We usually do three points to make sure we didn't make a mistake.
x=10 y=2
(10,2) is another point. Does your graph go through it?

-----------------
x = 5y
So, y = (1/5)x
----
You need to plot 2 points:
Let x = 0, then y = (1/5)0 = 0 giving you point (0,0)
-----
Let x = 5, then y = (1/5)5 = 1 giving you point (5,1)
------
Plot those 2 points and draw a line thru them to get:
