The basis for this equation is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

So, y=-2x+10 tells us that the slope is -2/1 or down 2 units, over 1 unit, and that the y-intercept is 10.

So, we start at (0,10). If we go down 2 and over 1, we subtract 2 from 10 and add 1 to 0

Our new coordinate pair is (1, 8). If we keep going we can make a line, but you should have enough information to make graph
