5x+2y=-105x+2y=−10
2y=-5x-102y=−5x−10
y=(-5x-10)/2y=−5x−102
y=-5/2 -5y=−52−5
now comparing this to y=mx+c
m=-5/2, c=-5m=−52,c=−5
so go to -5(i.e. m) in y' axis, draw a point
now move 2 points right and go down 5 points and draw a point
now join the 2 points and you have your line. graph{y=-5/2x-5 [-7.75, 14.75, -12.505, -1.255]}
