Answer:

The graph is attached below.

Explanation:

Given the line equation


y=\:-3x\:-\:2

Comparing the line equation with the slope-intercept form


y=mx+b

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

Here:

m = -3

b = -2

When

x = 0, then y = -2 ∵ y = -3x - 2 = -3(0) - 2 = -2

When

x = 1, then y = -5 ∵ y = -3x - 2 = -3(1) - 2 = -3 - 2 = -5

The graph is attached below.
