Graph a line. The line through (-2,5) with slope -1.
---------------------
y = mx + b
You know y = 5 when x = -2 and m = -1; so solve for "b":
5 = -1*-2 + b
b = 3
--------------------------
Equation:
y = -x + 3
Graphing:
when x = 0, y = 3 giving you point (0,3)
Plot (0,3) and (-2,5) and draw a line thru them:
