What does the line 2x+5y = 5 look like?

2x + 5y = 5

5y = 5 - 2x

y = (5 - 2x)*(1/5)

y = 1 - 2/5x

y= -2/5x + 1



This means that 2x+5y=5 is a line of the form y=mx+C, whereby m=-2/5 and C=1.

When x=0,

5y=5

y=5/5

y=1.

FIRST COORDINATE (0,1)

When y=0, 

2x=5

x=5/2

x=2.5

SECOND COORDINATE (2.5, 0)

Draw a line through the coordinates (0,1) and (2.5, 0) and your graph will emerge.
