Answer:

Explanation:

y = 3.2x+5

This equation represents a straight line where 3.2 is the slope of the line and 5 is the intercept of the line on the y-axis (basically where the line touches the y-axis)

So,because this is a line you only need two points to draw it.

One point you already know it's y =5.

To find another point that lies on the line just substitute a convenient number for x.For example say if x= 1/3.2

y = 3.2*( 1/3.2) +5

Therefore:

y = 1+5 =6

So,the other point on the line is (1/3.2 , 6)

Now find the points y = 5 and (1/3.2 , 6) on the xy plane and draw the line passing through them.
