"use the slope intercept form to graph the equation
2y=5x"

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept

2y = 5x
y = (5/2)x
slope = 5/2
y-intercept = 0 {where the line crosses the y-axis}

To graph:
- put a point on 0 on the y-axis
- from there, using the slope, go up 5 and to the right 2 and put another point
- draw a line through the two points
