x=2y+5 ; solve for y.
--------------
With a single eqn, you can solve for y only in terms of other variables, in this case x.
x=2y+5
2y = x-5
y = (x-5)/2

x=2y%2B5--------->This is a Line eqn.
It follows slope _intercept form, y=mx%2Bb
x=2y%2B5--------->2y=x-5-->cross%282%29y%2Fcross%282%29=%28x-5%29%2F2
highlight%28y=%281%2F2%29x-%285%2F2%29%29
f%28x%29=0
y=%281%2F2%290-%285%2F2%29
y=-5%2F2 y-Intercept
f%28y%29=0
%281%2F2%29x=5%2F2--->cross%281%2F2%29x%2Fcross%281%2F2%29=%285%2F2%29%2F%281%2F2%29
x=%285%2F2%29%282%2F1%29=5, X-Intercept
