Okay, here we have this:

Considering that this is a linear equation if we get two points, we can draw a line that will correspond to the function, so let's find it:

We are going to replace x with 1 and with 2:

x=1:

y=-5x

y=-5(1)

y=-5

We obtain (1,-5).

x=2:

y=-5(2)

y=-10

We obtain here (2,-10)

Now, let's graph this:
