Start with the y-intercept.
Plot it.

Slope is change in y (6) over change in x (5).
Starting at the y-intercept, determine another point on the line using the slope.
x: 0+5=5
y: 7+6=13
(5,13) is another point on the graph.
You could have also gone backwards.
x:0-5=-5
y:7-6=1
(-5,1) is another point on the graph.
You only need two points to define a line though.
Graph those points and connect the points with a line through all of them.
