Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form and then use the slope and y-intercept to sketch a graph of the line with the given equation.
5x + 2y = 10
------------
Slope-intercept means solve for y.
y = (-5/2)x + 5
---
Plot the y-intercept (0,5)
---
The slope is -5/2 --> the y value decreases 5 for each x increase of 2.
From (0,5) count 2 units right and 5 units down.
Draw a line thru the 2 points.
