How do you graph Y=-5x+15

You plot the first point on the y-axis at 15 units up. Then you follow the direction of the slope.

The slope is: -5/1

So from your first point on the y-axis, go down 5 units and to the right 1 unit. Do this multiple times after you plot your new point. After this you may draw a line with an arrow to connect the dots.
