Two or three ways to go.

Find axis intercepts, letting x=0 to find y; and letting y=0 to find x. Then plot points and draw the line.

Solve for y in terms of x, put into slope-intercept form, and use y-intercept and slope to draw the line.


Result should look this way:

7x + 2y =5
2y = -7x +5
y = (7/2)x +(5/2)
when x = 2, y= 9.5 ( 2,9.5)
x= -2 y = -2.5 ( -2,-2.5)
x= 4, y = 16.5 ( 4, 16.5)
