You can put this solution on YOUR website!
20 +4y = 2x + 40
.
Get into slope-intercept form.
y = mx +b
.
4y = 2x +20
.
divide by 4
.
y = 2/4*x +5
.
y = 1/2*x + 5
.
m = slope = 1/2
.
y-intercept = (0,5)
.
x-intercept is where y=0, so set y=0 and solve for x.
.
0 = 1/2*x +5
1/2*x = -5
x = -10
.
x-intercept = (-10,0)
.
with two points you can draw a line
