Mixing
Issue with Graphing Points

So I have been trying to graph a function for my economics class. My problem is that the "axis" that are created do not match up with actual points; for example, the point (0,5) will not be on the y-axis, it is shifted over.
Here is the code for my graph:
documentclassarticle
usepackagepgfplots
begindocument
beginfigure[ht]
centering
begintikzpicture[scale=1.5,line width=1pt]
beginaxis[
color= black,
xmin=0,
xmax=19.5,
ymin=0,
ymax=19.5,
axis equal,
axis x line=left,
axis y line=left,
disabledatascaling,
xticklabels=,
yticklabels=,
font=scriptsize,
ticks=none,
extra x ticks=0,
extra y ticks=0,
]
draw (0,5) -- (10,0);
endaxis
endtikzpicture
endfigure
enddocument
My issue is not with creating a graph; I only put a simple line to demonstrate that the points are not lining up.
Does anyone know why this is happening? I cannot figure it out at all. Help would be much appreciated!

The problem is with the axis equal line. axis equal changes the axis limits automatically in order to make the plot fit in the specified height and width. You can see that it's changing the x-axis by commenting out the ticks=none line - the 0 tick mark is not at the y axis.
I recommend removing the axis equal line.

As David already pointed out in his answer this is because of the axis equal option which changes the axis limits to fit the specified width and height of the axis.
Another alternative would be to use the axis equal image key, which changes either the width or the height.
If you always want to be sure that the axis lines are drawn at the zero coordinates, you should use axis lines=middle instead of axis lines=left, as Henri Menke already stated in the comment below the question.
(I also made some other comments to your code in my answer code, which you should have a look at. Just in case you weren't aware of this stuff.)
% used PGFPlots v1.16
documentclass[border=5pt]standalone

% % (use this `compat' level or higher so by default TikZ coordinates use
% % `axis cs:'. See comments below for more details.)
