1. **State the problem:** We need to graph two lines given by the equations:
Line A: $2x - y = 5$
Line B: $x + 2y = 10$
2. **Rewrite each equation in slope-intercept form $y = mx + b$ to easily graph them.**
For Line A:
$$2x - y = 5$$
Subtract $2x$ from both sides:
$$-y = -2x + 5$$
Multiply both sides by $-1$:
$$\cancel{-1} \times -y = \cancel{-1} \times (-2x + 5)$$
$$y = 2x - 5$$
For Line B:
$$x + 2y = 10$$
Subtract $x$ from both sides:
$$2y = -x + 10$$
Divide both sides by $2$:
$$\frac{2y}{\cancel{2}} = \frac{-x + 10}{\cancel{2}}$$
$$y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 5$$
3. **Interpret the slope and intercepts:**
- Line A has slope $2$ and y-intercept $-5$.
- Line B has slope $-\frac{1}{2}$ and y-intercept $5$.
4. **Graphing:**
- For Line A, start at $(0, -5)$ on the y-axis and rise 2 units for every 1 unit run to the right.
- For Line B, start at $(0, 5)$ on the y-axis and fall 1 unit for every 2 units run to the right.
This will produce two lines intersecting at some point.
Final equations for graphing:
Line A: $y = 2x - 5$
Line B: $y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 5$
