You can put this solution on YOUR website!
7x%2By=5 this is a linear function (function is a first degree polynomial of the form) and graph will be a straight line
find two points that lie one a line, x-intercept and y-intercept are easiest to find
7x%2By=5 ...set y=0 and solve for x
7x%2B0=5
7x=5
x=5%2F7 => x-intercept is at point (5%2F7,+0+)

7x%2By=5 ...set x=0 and solve for y
7%2A0%2By=5
y=5 => y-intercept is at point (+0+,+5+)
plot pointe on the Cartesian coordinate plane and draw a line through
