How do you graph ##y=2x-5##?

##y=2x-5## is a line. Determine the two points that this line intersects with the axes then connect these points to graph it.
Given ##y=2x-5##
Set ##y=0## then solve for the abscissa
##y=2x-5##
##0=2x-5##
##2x=5##
##x=5/2##
We now have the point ##(5/2, 0)##
Set now ##x=0## then solve for the ordinate
##y=2x-5##
##y=2(0)-5##
##y=-5##
We now have the point ##(0, -5)##
We now simply draw a line passing thru the two points ##(5/2, 0)## and ##(0, -5)##
Kindly see the graph of ##y=2x-5## with the points ##(5/2, 0)## and ##(0, -5)##
God bless….I hope the explanation is useful.
