Answer:

see attached

Explanation:

The graph of a linear equation can be drawn using any of several methods. Here, we are given the equation in standard form. We notice that the variable coefficients are both divisors of the constant, which means the x- and y-intercepts will be integer values. It will be convenient to draw the graph using those points.

__

The x-intercept is the x-value when y = 0.

2x -0 = 10

x = 10/2 = 5 . . . . . . (5, 0) is a point on the line

__

The y-intercept is the y-value when x = 0.

0 -y = 10

y = -10 . . . . . . . (0, -10) is a point on the line

__

The graph can be drawn by plotting these points and drawing the line through them. This is shown in the attachment.
