Answer: Draw a straight line through (0,-7) and (1,-5)

Explanation:

You could use any two points you want. For me, the easiest is when x = 0. Plug this into the equation to get

y = 2x-7

y = 2(0)-7

y = -7

So we have x = 0 and y = -7 pair up to get (0,-7) as our first point. This is the y intercept.

Repeat for x = 1

y = 2x-7

y = 2(1)-7

y = -5

So (1,-5) is another point on this line. You only need two points at minimum to graph a straight line.
