There are quite a few strategies for graphing lines from an equation. For this example, we will use the slope and the yinteroept to graph the line. First, extract the y-interoept from the linear equation. Sinoe b = 5, the yintercept for this line is (0,5). Plot the y-intercept. Once you have the y-interoept, you can use the slope to locate another point. The slope in this problem 2 is - 5. So, another point will be down 2 units and to the right 3 units. [Remember riseirun.) You can now extend this line using a straightedge.
