y=2x-5
to graph this line, all you need is two points
easiest way is find x and y intercepts
x intercept:
set y=0 and calculate x
0=2x-5
5=2x
5%2F2=x
2.5=x
so, x intercept is at the point ( 2.5 , 0 )

now set x=0 and calculate y
y=2%2A0-5
y=-5

so, y intercept is at the point ( 0 , -5 )
plot the points and draw a line through

graphing lines
---------------
It's a straight line, so 2 points is sufficient.
Pick 2 values for x and find y.
Plot the 2 points.
Draw a line thru them.
