You can put this solution on YOUR website!
From 5x-2y = 10
we solve for y by subtracting 5x first, and get
-2y = -5x + 10
Now divide by -2 and get
y = (5/2)x - 5
To graph this, go to (0,-5) and plot a point.
From there, go up five and to the right two and plot another point...should be at (2,0)...
Then connect the points and voila!
