Explanation:
#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.
#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#
#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#
#"rearrange "2x+y=5" into this form"#
#"subtract 2x from both sides"#
#cancel(2x)cancel(-2x)+y=-2x+5#
#rArry=-2x+5larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"#
#"with slope "=-2" and y-intercept "=5#
graph{2x+5 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}
