The y-intercept is found replacing x = 0 into the equation as follows:

5*0 + y = 5

y = 5

Then, the line intercepts the y-axis at (0, 5)

The x-intercept is found replacing y = 0 into the equation as follows:

5x + 0 = 5

5x = 5

x = 5/5

x = 1

Then, the line intercepts the x-axis at (1, 0)

The line is graphed connecting these two points
