You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = -4/5x +2
this is a line that crosses the y axis at (0, 2)
now solve this equation for x
5y = -4x +10
4x = -5y +10
x = -5y/4 + 5/2
when y = 0, we have
x = 5/2
so the line crosses the x axis at (2.5, 0)
connect the two points and we have the following graph
