To graph the line, simply connect the intercepts $(5/2, 0)$ and $(0, -25/7)$ .

The x-intercept is the point at which the y-coordinate is $0$ .

The y-intercept is the point at which the x-coordinate is $0$ .

Substitute $color(red)(y = 0)$ to find the x-intercept.

$-10x + 7(color(red)0) = -25$

$-10x = -25$

$x = 5/2$

Therefore the x-intercept is $(5/2, color(red)0)$ .

Substitue $color(red)(x = 0)$ to find the y-intercept.

$-10(color(red)0) + 7y = -25$

$7y = -25$

$y = -25/7$

Therefore the y-intercept is $(color(red)0, -25/7)$ .

To graph the line, simply connect the two points.
