Answer:

showed below

Step-by-step explanation:

you can start by plotting a dot at (2,0), since the line must go through that point. Since m, the slope, is -2, you can re-write this into a fraction to make it easier, looking like this: -2/1. Slope in general can be written as “rise over run” or “rise/run”, so the numerator is how far you go up on the graph, while the denominator is how far you go over. In this case, the slope is negative, so instead of up and right, the line goes down and right. From (2,0) you would go down by 2, and right by one. At that point you polar another dot. That point is (3,-2). From there, you can take a straight edge and line it up with the two dots and draw your line. It looks like what is in the picture.
