How do you find the slope and y intercept to sketch 5x-2=0?

x=2/5
No y intercept
Slope = undefined
The graph will be a vertical line from y=-infinity to y=infinity at x=2/5

Explanation:

5x-2=0 Isolate x and its coefficients:
5x=2 Isolate x:
x=2/5

This is a horizontal line, so it has no y intercept and its slope is undefined (slope is rise over run, and since the graph doesn't "run" it is division by 0).
The graph will be a vertical line from y=-infinity to y=infinity at x=2/5, because, no matter what y is, x=2/5
