This is the form y=mx+bWhere mx is the slope and the b value is the y-interceptFirst plot the b value in this case it is -5Then from that point (0,−5) use the slope to find the other pointsSlope=riserunRise translates to the amount of units "up or down" you goUp = PositiveDown = NegativeRun translates to the amount of units "left or right" you goLeft = NegativeRight = PositiveSo starting from the point (0,−5) go up
