Graph y=2x-5

Problem

y=2*x−5

Solution

1. Identify the equation as a linear function in slope-intercept form, which is y=m*x+b

2. Determine the y-intercept from the constant term b=−5 which gives the starting point (0,−5) on the y-axis.

3. Identify the slope m=2 which can be written as the fraction 2/1

4. Apply the slope by moving up 2 units and right 1 unit from the y-intercept to find a second point, (1,−3)

5. Draw a straight line passing through the points (0,−5) and (1,−3) to complete the graph.

Final Answer

y=2*x−5
