#"see explanation"#

Explanation:

#"one way is to find the points where the graph crosses the"#
#"x and y axes called the intercepts"#

#• " let x = 0, in the equation for y-intercept"#

#• " let y = 0, in the equation for y-intercept"#

#x=0to0+y=-2rArry=-2#

#y=0tox+0=-2rArrx=-2#

#"plot the points "(0,-2),(-2,0)#
#"and draw a straight line through them"#
