Graph is available for this linear equation

Slope-Intercept Form : #color(red)(y = mx+b)#

where

#color(red)m# is the Slope and

#color(red)b# is the y-Intercept

Note that

if #color(green)(m >0)# we have a Positive Slope

if #color(green)(m <0)# we have a Negative Slope

Zero Slope refers to a horizontal line

In our Linear Equation #color(blue)(y = -1/5x+2),#

since #color(red)(m < 0)# we will have a Negative Slope

Note that #color(red)(b =2)# is our y-Intercept

Required graph is available below:
