There are many ways you can start off by solving an equation. In this case, the first operation used in solving this equation would be subtraction. You would have to subtract 5 from each side.
x = -1
y = 1
To find this, input the equation into a graphing calculator, whether online or an actual one, and you have two options:
1 - Search for the points in which the line crosses the x and or y axis.
2 - Hit 2nd Graph to access the table and find when x and y equal zero.
Hope this helps!
