1. Identify the linear equation. y = mx + b
2. Take (b) and plot it on the y axis. Since b is a positive 3, that means you plot a positive 3 on the y axis. This will be the number that your line crosses the y axis on.
3. Take (mx) and plot it in correlation to (b). mx = -x also known as -1. So, from +3 on the y axis, move once to the left and once down. Your coordinate should land on (2, 1).
From here on out, keep moving -1 on the y axis and +1 on the x axis. The ongoing coordinates should look something like (1, 2)(0, 3)(-1, 4) and so on.
