Given the linear equation: 5x-2y=10
a) Convert the equation to slope-intercept form.
That means solve for y.
You get y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

State the slope of the line and the y-intercept as an ordered pair.

b) Use the slope and the y-intercept to graph the line represented by the equation.

It's a straight line, so you need 2 points. Pick 2 values for x and find y.
Plot the 2 points, draw a line thru them.
