Question

How do you graph `y=2x-5` on a coordinate plane?

Answer 1

See explanation...

Explanation:

Note that when `x = 0`, `y = 0-5 = -5`. So the line intercepts the `y` axis at `(0, -5)`

Note that when `y = 0`, `x = 5/2`. So the line intercepts the `x` axis at `(5/2, 0)`.

Drawing a line through these points we get:

graph{2x-5 [-8.915, 11.085, -6.44, 3.56]}
