Question

How do you graph `y=5-2x`?

Answer 1

graph{-2x+5 [-10.42, 9.58, -1.88, 8.12]}

Explanation:

`y=-2x+5`

`-2` is the slope, and `5` is the y intercept.

Start by placing a point at `(0,5)`, which is the y intercept, then from there move down 2 right 1, down 2 right 1, etc to plot more points. You can also move up 2 left 1. Connect the points, and you have the line.
