See a solution process below:

First, solve for two points which solve the equation and plot these points:

First Point:

For $x = 0$ $x = 0$

$y = 3.5 \cdot 0$ $y = 3.5 * 0$

$y = 0$ $y = 0$ or $(0, 0)$ $(0, 0)$

Second Point:

For $y = 2$ $y = 2$

$y = 3.5 \cdot 2$ $y = 3.5 * 2$

$y = 7$ $y = 7$ or $(2, 7)$ $(2, 7)$

We can next graph the two points on the coordinate plane:

graph{(x^2+y^2-0.075)((x-2)^2+(y-7)^2-0.075)=0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}

Now, we can draw a straight line through the two points to graph the line:

graph{(y-3.5x)(x^2+y^2-0.075)((x-2)^2+(y-7)^2-0.075)=0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}
