The equation is .

Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form y = mx + c.

                        (Subtract 5x from each side)

                        (Commutative property: )

                                          (Simplify)                      

Graph by Making a Table:

Make a table; choose some values for x and find the corresponding values for y. 

\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \

\ x \	\ y =– 5x–10 \	\ y \	\ (x, y) \
\ – 4 \	\ –5(– 4) –10 \	\   10 \	\ (– 4,   10) \
\ – 2 \	\ – 5(– 2) –10 \	\ 0 \	\ (– 2, 0) \
\ 0 \	\ –5(0) –10 \	\ –10 \	\ (0, –10) \
\ 2 \	\ –5(2) –10 \	\ –20 \	\ (2, –20) \
\ 4 \	\ –5(4) –10 \	\ –30 \	\ (4, –30) \
