Answer: Draw a line through the two points (5,-3) and (7,-4)

See the diagram below.

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Start at (5,-3). Then move down 1 and to the right 2 units to arrive at (7,-4)

The motion of "down 1, right 2" is from the slope of -1/2

slope = rise/run = -1/2

rise = -1 = go down 1 unit

run = 2 = go 2 units to the right

Two points are the minimum amount needed to draw any line. Plot the two points (5,-3) and (7,-4) and draw a straight line through them as shown in the diagram below. I used GeoGebra to make the graph. Desmos is another tool you could use.
