Answer:
To graph (like the provided picture) you must understand y=mx+b. Your m would stand for your slope which you need to determine with rise over run. Rise over run can be done by finding a place where both the x and y values are lined up. (0,-2) can be used as an example from the picture. You then want to find the next point where the x and y values line up which (-2,1) can be used. Go up 3 units and go to the LEFT 2 times which makes this a negative run. The slope would then be represented as -3/2.
Your x value stands for your x-value moving up or down while you b value stands for your y-intercept which point (0,-2) is represented as. Y represents the y value after the equation is plugged in with x and solved.
