The slope and a point are given, so this graphing you can do on your own.

YOU Do it!
Plot the point. x value 4. y value -5.
Slope given means, for vertical change negative 3, the horizontal change is positive 5.

YOU CAN DO THIS.

.

Take graph paper, a pencil and a straightedge.

On the graph paper, draw x-axis and y-axis; then draw the point A = (4,-5).

After that, draw the second point B as described:

from A, go 1 unit horizontally to the left and 3 units vertically up. Mark new point as B.

Now use the straightedge and the pencil and connect the points A and B by straight line.

At this point, you complete your job.

Did you hear this standard explanation from your teacher at least once ?

It is what you can read in any textbook, and it is what every teacher explains to pupils in primary school,
right after the multiplication table.
