Okay, so I'm assuming want this in straight line form. (y=mx+b)
2x+5y=10 Let's get the y by itself. Subtract 2x from both sides.
5y= -2x+10. We still need to get y by itself so let's divide by 5 on both sides.
y= -2/5x +5 ;)

You have one linear equation in two variables; can't be solved for x and y (you can only find x in terms of y or y in terms of x).
