Hi

y = 5x-2  is a function describing ordered pairs that form a line when graphed

the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is: y = mx + b 

 where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.  

y = 5x-2 is a line with slope m = 5 and the y-intercept is Pt(0,-2)

 m = (5/1)as y increases/decreases by 5, x increases/decreases by 1

Note: Plotting Pt(0,-2) and using slope to find at least one more point,

joining these points with a line completes the graphing
