Explanation:

You want to graph y = 2x -5.

Graph

Often, the easiest way to graph a linear equation in slope-intercept form is to graph the y-intercept point, then use the slope to identify one or more additional points on the line. The graph is the line through the plotted points.

Slope-intercept form

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is ...

y = mx +b

where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

The y-intercept is the point on the y-axis where the line crosses it. The coordinates there are (0, b).

Here, we have y = 2x -5, so m=2 and b=-5. The y-intercept point is (0, -5).

The slope is the ratio of "rise" to "run" for the line. A slope of 2 means the line rises 2 units for each 1 unit it goes to the right. That means (0 +1, b+2) will be another point on the line: (1, -3).
