The given equation is


y=(5)/(2)x+5

We will find 2 points on the line and use them to draw it

Let x = 0 and find the corresponding value of y


\begin{gathered} y=(5)/(2)(0)+5 \\ y=0+5 \\ y=5 \end{gathered}

The first point is (0, 5)

Let y = 0 and find the corresponding value of x


0=(5)/(2)x+5

Subtract 5 from both sides


\begin{gathered} 0-5=(5)/(2)x+5-5 \\ -5=(5)/(2)x \end{gathered}

Multiply each side by 2


\begin{gathered} -5(2)=(5)/(2)(2)x \\ -10=5x \end{gathered}

Divide both sides by 5


\begin{gathered} (-10)/(5)=(5x)/(5) \\ -2=x \end{gathered}

The second point is (-2, 0)

Let us draw the graph

The red line represents the given equation
