You first make a table with x and y

like this: x | y

then you think of possible values for x then solve for y

it needs to be positive , 0, and a negative like:

under x, you do:

2

0

-3

then you take the equation and solve for y.

after, with the y values, create a Cartesian plane and plot the points

so the points would be (2,7), (0,5), and (-3,2)

then you connect the points and draw arrows on both ends.

then label the line w/ the equation

hey btw, i learned this just yesterday. lol

great timing

Explanation:

Just pick a bunch of values of x, and use the formula to find the corresponding value of y.

For example

When x = 0, y = 0+5 = 5 ----> Plot the point (0,5) on graph paper

When x = 1, y = 1+5 = 6 ----> Plot the point (1,6) on graph paper

When x = 2, y = 2+5 = 7 ----> Plot the point (2,7) on graph paper

Then connect the dots to get a linear graph. You should get a graph that looks like the one attached.
