First thing you need to know is that the slope is equivalent to rise divided by run.

y-intercept is a point on the y-axis that the line will intersect.

From the problem, we have a y-intercept of -5

Plot the point (0, -15).

Next step is to plot the second point using the slope of -2


\text{slope}=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}=-2=(-2)/(1)

So the rise is -2 (we need to move 2 units downward since the sign is negative)

and the run is 1 (we need to move 1 unit to the right since the sign is positive)

The second point will be :

Then connect the two points with a straight line.

The graph will be :

Graph the Following features on the graphY-intercept = -5Slope= -2-example-2
Graph the Following features on the graphY-intercept = -5Slope= -2-example-3
