First of all, the y-intercept of this line is -5, which means our line crosses the y-axis at (0, -5)

Remember, a y-intercept always has an x-coordinate of 0.

So, we plot a point at (0, -5)

Now, the slope is 2. Which means that we plot the next point after going up 2, over 1. Then, we plot the next point, and so on..

When we are done, the line should look like so:

Answer:

I'm not sure how I can graph the line for you but in the equation, -5 is the y intercept so you should make a point on -5 on the y axis. 2 is the slope in 2x-5 so as a fraction, it would be 2/1. Since the slope is 2/1, the line would rise 2 and run 1.
