Question 118687: Give the equation y = -7x + 5 name 2 points you could use to graph the line. I'm not sure how to do this, and I'm kinda confused!
There is also another problem, it is Graph the line -4x + 5y = 20 I am not sure how to do this, but I think that the x-intercept is (-5,0) and the y-intercept (0,4)I am I right?

Give the equation y = -7x + 5 name 2 points you could use to graph the line. I'm not sure how to do this, and I'm kinda confused!
For example:
Let x = 0, then y = -7*0+5 = 5
Let x = 1, then y = -7*1+5 = -2
That gives you the points (0,5) and (1,-2)

Yes, you are corrent.
Plot those two points and draw a line thru them to see your graph:
