The question already gave you the formula in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b). You just need to graph it. Let’s begin with the easy step. The first point is the y-intercept (b) which is -5. Think of it as a point (0,-5), so you input -5 on the y-axis of the graph. After that is the slope, which usually is a fraction symbolizing rise over run. In this case, since the slope is a -x, is is -1 over one, therefore it’s down 1 right 1.
