You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = -5x +2
THE Y INTERCEPT IS (0,2)
SETTING Y=0 AND SOLVE FOR X
0=-5X+2
-5X=-2
X=-2/-5
X=2/5 OR .4
THE X INTERCEPT IS (.4,0)
NOW DRAW A LINE BETWEEN THESE 2 POINTS.
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-5x+%2B2%29+ (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, -5x +2).
