please show me the detail explaination how to draw the graph of linear equation
thanks!

ask questions of the equation
(1)
Is it the equation of a straight line or not?
if x and y are both raised to the first power, it is a straight line
this is important to know
(2)
If its a straight line, what is the slope?
Get it in the form y = mx + b and m will be the slope
(3)
Plot a few points. Make this a ritual that you do every time
Do it this way:
x --- y
0 --- b (in the form y = mx + b)
plot a few more
(4)
Connect the dots. If the slope is negative, the line slopes down toward your right
If the slope is positive, the line slopes up toward your right
Its just a lot of practice Put in the time & keep asking questions
