Determine two points on the line from the equation. Plot the points and draw a straight line through the points.

$y=5/2x-5$

This is the slope-intercept form for a linear equation.

Determine two points on the line. Plot them and draw a straight line through the points.

Point 1: $(0,-5)$
$x=0$

$y=5/2(0)-5$

$y=0-5=-5$

Point 2: $(2,0)$
$x=2$

$y=5/2*2/1-5$ =

$y=5-5=0$

graph{y=5/2x-5 [-14.24, 14.23, -7.12, 7.12]}
