The linear equation is .
The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0.
(Substitute 0 for x)
(Apply zero product property: )
The y-intercept is 0. The graph crosses the y-axis at (0, 0).
The x-intercept is the value of x when y = 0.
(Substitute 0 for y)
Apply division property of equality: If a = b then .
(Divide each side by 5)
(Cancel common terms)
(Divide: )
The x-intercept is 0. The graph crosses the x-axis at (0, 0).
Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.
1. Draw a coordinate plane
2. Plot the points
3. Draw a line through these points.
Graph of the linear equation is
