Answer:

See below ↓

Explanation:

Step 1 : Mark the y-intercept.

  • b = -20
  • Therefore, the y-intercept's coordinates are : (0, b)
  • (0, -20)

Step 2 : Draw the slope.

  • m = -8
  • Therefore after marking the y-intercept you can either mark a point 8 spaces up, 1 to the left or mark a point 8 spaces down, 1 to the right
  • After doing this, join the two points using a ruler and draw a line
  • Your graph is ready!
  • It should look like this :
