See a solution process below:

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

First Point: For #x = 0#

#y = (25 * 0) + 150#

#y = 0 + 150#

#y = 150# or #(0, 150)#

Second Point: For #x = 10#

#y = (25 * 10) + 150#

#y = 250 + 150#

#y = 400# or #(10, 400)#

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

graph{(x^2+(y-150)^2-100)((x-10)^2+(y-400)^2-100)=0 [-500, 500, -100, 500]}

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

graph{(y-25x-150)(x^2+(y-150)^2-100)((x-10)^2+(y-400)^2-100)=0 [-500, 500, -100, 500]}
