The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + c

where

m = slope

c = y intercept

Considering the given line,

m = - 3 and c = - 1

By substituting these values into the slope intercept equation, the equation of the line is

y = - 3x - 1

We would substitute values of x into the equation and solve for corresponding values of y. It is shown below

For x = - 2, y = - 3 * - 2 - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

For x = - 1, y = - 3 * - 1 - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2

For x = 0, y = - 3 * 0 - 1 = 0 - 1 = - 1

For x = 1, y = - 3 * 1 - 1 = - 3 - 1 = - 4

For x = 2, y = - 3 * 2 - 1 = - 6 - 1 = - 7

We would plot the corresponding x and y values on the horizontal and vertical axes of the graph respectively. The graph is shown below
