graph and solve 2x-5y=-5 ?
Okay, you have to find the x-value and then the y-value. Do you know how to do that?
Anyways. to find x, you simply input 0 for the value of y and solve. Same thing with finding y. When finding y, you input 0 into x and solve. So I'll help you with solving x.
\[2x-5y=-5\]\[2x-5 \times 0=-5\]\[2x - 0=-5\]\[-2x=-5\]2.5
So x = (2.5, 0)
Can you solve y?
You can't solve that cause you have two variables and only 1 equation but you can graph it: 2x-5y=-5 -> y=(2/5)x+1 see http://graphsketch.com/?eqn1_color=1&eqn1_eqn=2%2F5*x%2B1&eqn2_color=2&eqn2_eqn=&eqn3_color=3&eqn3_eqn=&eqn4_color=4&eqn4_eqn=&eqn5_color=5&eqn5_eqn=&eqn6_color=6&eqn6_eqn=&x_min=-17&x_max=17&y_min=-10.5&y_max=10.5&x_tick=1&y_tick=1&x_label_freq=5&y_label_freq=5&do_grid=0&do_grid=1&bold_labeled_lines=0&bold_labeled_lines=1&line_width=4&image_w=850&image_h=525
