See a solution process below:

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

First Point: For $x = 0$ $x = 0$

$y = 0 - 5$ $y = 0 - 5$

$y = - 5$ $y = -5$ or $(0, - 5)$ $(0, -5)$

Second Point: For $x = 5$ $x = 5$

$y = 5 - 5$ $y = 5 - 5$

$y = 0$ $y = 0$ or $(5, 0)$ $(5, 0)$

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

graph{(x^2+(y+5)^2-0.075)((x-5)^2+y^2-0.075)=0 [-14, 14, -7, 7]}

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

graph{(y-x+5)(x^2+(y+5)^2-0.075)((x-5)^2+y^2-0.075)=0 [-14, 14, -7, 7]}

How do you graph y=x-5y=x−5y=x-5?
