The answer would be J because if the equation was transferred into a positive then it would be 2y and 5x marking 5x on the bottom and 2y vertically.
Hope this helps!!

Answer:

Graph J represents the function -2x-5y=-10

Explanation

To find the answer you have to find the y and x-intercepts first. To find the x and y-intercept I came up with two equations; -5y=-10 and -2x=-10. I came up with these equations because I'm finding the intercepts, so I know I have to substitute x and y with 0 one at a time. To solve the first equation I just divided -5 from both sides and got y=2, so my first intercept is (0, 2). I solved the second equation by dividing -2 from both sides and got x=5 which means my second intercept is (5, 0). Now I graph the two points on a graph and connect the dots, which turns out to be graph J on your image.

Hoped this helped you : )
