How do you graph the equation x=10-yx=10y?

Plot a couple sample points and draw a line through those points.

Explanation:

If we recognize x=10-yx=10y as a linear equation,
then we know we only need 2 sample points.
Probably the easiest points to use are the xx and yy intercepts
With x=0x=0 we have y=10y=10 (the y-intercept)
and
with y=0y=0 we have x=10x=10 (the x-intercept)

Plotting those two coordinate pairs on the Cartesian plane and drawing a line through them should give a graph like:
graph{(x^2+(y-10)^2-0.1)((x-10)^2+y^2-0.1)(x+y-10)=0 [-10.7, 25.35, -5.1, 12.91]}
