We have to graph the line y = -2/5*x-5.
To do that, we need two points that belong to the line.
We can give two arbitrary values to x and calculate y using the equation of the line.
For example, for x=0, we get:
[tex]x=0\Rightarrow y(0)=-\frac{2}{5}\cdot0-5=-5[/tex]
Then, the point is (0,-5).
Now, if we make x = 5, we can calculate y as:
[tex]x=5\Rightarrow y(5)=-\frac{2}{5}\cdot5-5=-2-5=-7[/tex]
Then, we get the point (5, -7).
Using this two points we can graph the line as:
NOTE: In the case that the graph is limited to certain intervals in x or y, we have to try with different values of x until we find two points within the range shown by the graph.
In this case, (0,-5) and (5,-7) will be located within the range shown.
