F%28x%29=+5x%2B2 this is linear function and all you need is two points to graph it
easiest way is to find x and y-intercepts
F%28x%29=+5x%2B2 ...set F%28x%29 or y=0
0=+5x%2B2 ...solve for x
-2=+5x
-2%2F5=+x
x-intercept is at: (-2%2F5,0)

F%28x%29=+5x%2B2 ...set x=0
y=+5%2A0%2B2 ...solve for x
y=+2


y-intercept is at: (0,2)
plot points and draw a line through:
