Chapter 5.5, Problem 10P

Graph each equation using $x$- and $y$-intercepts.

$-5x+y=-10$

To determine

To graph: The equation $-5x+y=-10$ .

Answer to Problem 10P

The graph is

  

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The equation is $-5x+y=-10$ .

Graph:

From the given equation, the intercepts are

x -intercept: $\frac{-10}{-5}=2$

y -intercept: $\frac{-10}{1}=-10$

From the above finding intercepts, the points that lie on the line are $(2,0)$ and $(0,-10)$ .

So marking these points on the graph and connecting them using a straight line gives us the graph of the given equation as shown below:
