Question 643347
You don't necessarily solve for x and y. This is standard form of a linear equation. You can, however convert it from standard form to slope-intercept form so it will be easier to graph. You can do this by isolating the y:

<p>{{{5x+2y=7}}}
<p>{{{2y=-5x+7}}}
<p>{{{y=-5/2x+7/2}}}

<p>Therefore, the slope is -5/2 and the y-intercept is 7/2. You can now graph it.
