5x-2y=65x2y=6

First simplify it so you have the yy on one side and the rest on the other

5x-6=2y5x6=2y
y=(5x-6)/2y=5x62

And so you take any 2 numbers, not too big and put instead of x
and you've got two dots on the plane with the coordinates A(x,y)A(x,y) and B(x1,y1)B(x1,y1)

The xx in the AA dot is the first xx you choose and the yy is the yy you get once you enter the xx and solve it, same goes for #B(x1,y1) but obviously the coordinates should be different

graph{5x-2y=6 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
