u know how to graph in y-intercept form right so change the whay the equation looks till u put it in that form. y=mx%2Bb
2x=5y
%282%2F5%29x=y
this shows b=0 because its not there and the slope is 2%2F5 if y-intercept is 0 then go up 2 and to the right 5. your two points are (0,0)(5,2)

2x=5y
y=%282%2F5%29x
Slope:2%2F5
Y-intercept:0
(0,0) is one point on the line.

.
To find another point, use the slope.
Slope is change in y divide by change in x.
Change in y:2
Change in x:5
.

.
Next point
x:0%2B5=5
y:0%2B2=2
(5,2)
Plot those two points and connect them with a line going through them.
