Answer:

In the attachment.

Explanation:

It's the equation of a linear function in a standard form.

Convert to a slope-intercept form y = mx + b:

-5x + 2y = -10 add 5x to both sides

2y = 5x - 10 divide both sides by 2

y = 2.5x - 5

To draw a graph we need only two points.

We choose two arbitrary values ​​of x. Put them to the equation and calculate the values of y:

for x = 0

y = 2.5(0) - 5 = 0 - 5 = -5 → (0, -5)

for x = 2

y = 2.5(2) - 5 = 5 - 5 = 0 → (2, 0)

Plot a straight line through given points.
