Slope intercept form is y = (-1)x + 2

To graph, simply draw a line that passes through the point (0,2)

Matematically, the slope-intercept form is;


y\text{ = mx + c}

where m is the slope amd c is the y-intercept

Now, writing the equation given in the slope-intercept form, we have;

y = -x + 2

y = (-1)x + 2

where m which is the slope is -1 and the y-intercept is 2

To graph the line, we will locate the point 2 on the y-axis (0,2)

After marking this line, we draw a line passing through this point. What we have graphed here is the line representing the equation
