Question

Y=x-5 how do I graph ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Draw a straight line through (0, -5) and (1, -4).

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing the given y=x-5 to the general formula y = mx + b, we see that the slope of this line is m = 1 and that the y-intercept is b = -5.

Plot the y-intercept, (0, -5).

Now, starting with your pencil point on this (0, -5), move it 1 space to the right and 1 space up.  This ensures a slope of m = 1/1, or just m = 1.

Your pencil point will now be at (1, -4).

Draw a straight line through (0, -5) and (1, -4).
