Answer:

Plug the x-values into the equation to get the y values. This will give you coordinates that you can graph a line with.

Explanation:

For x = -5: y = -3 - 2 * (-5) = 7, so the coordinates are (-5, 7)

For x = -2: y = -3 - 2 * (-2) = 1, so the coordinates are (-2, 1)

(Etc.)

Then, plot these coordinates and draw a line through them to complete the graph.
