Graphing a linear equation: 5x+2y=20

We can graph a the linear equation like 5x + 2y = 20 by rewriting it so y is isolated, then plugging in x values to find their corresponding y-values in a table. We can then graph those x-y pairs as points on a graph. Created by Sal Khan and Monterey Institute for Technology and Education.
