By setting $y = 0$ $y=0$ , we can find the $x$ $x$ -intercept.

$5 x + (0) = 5 \Rightarrow x = 1$ $5x+(0)=5 => x=1$

By setting $x = 0$ $x=0$ , we can find the $y$ $y$ -intercept.

$5 (0) + y = 5 \Rightarrow y = 5$ $5(0)+y=5 => y=5$ .

Plot the intercepts we found above:

Connect those intercepts by a straight line.

The line in red is the graph of $5 x + y = 5$ $5x+y=5$ .

I hope that this was helpful.
