Substitute 2 values for $x$ and solve for $y$ in order to find two points on the line and plot them. Then draw a straight line through them.

$y=-2/5x+2$

Find two points on the line.

Point A:

$x=0$

$y=-2/5*0+2$

$y=0+2$

$y=2$

Point A $=$ $(0,2)$

Point B:

$x=5$

$y=-2/5*5+2$

$y=-10/5+2$

$y=-2+2$

$y=0$

Point B $=$ $(5,0)$

Plot point A and B, then draw a straight line through them.

graph{y=-2/5x+2 [-9.33, 10.67, -2.15, 7.85]}
