5x = 2y + 7
2y = 5x - 7 {subtracted 7 from each side}
y = (5/2)x - (7/2) {divided each side by 2}
slope = 5/2
y-intercept = -7/2
To graph:
- put a point on -7/2, on the y-axis, since it is the y-intercept
- from that point, move up 5 and to the right 2 and put another point down, since the slope is 5/2
- draw a line through those two points
