your equation is good

draw a set of perpendicular axes, label one axis p and the other s

find the intercepts (by setting p and then s equal to zero in your equation) and mark them on the appropriate axes

the graph is the line connecting the intercepts ___ it should pass through several integer pairs for p and s
