To graph an equation using the intercepts:
1. Set y to zero and solve for x.
2. Set x to zero and solve for y.
3. Trace a line connecting both points
4. Done!

x%2B5y=10
When y=0, x=10 ... point (10,0)
When x=0, y=2 .... point (0,2)

Here's the graph of x%2B5y=10. Notice both points are represented here.
