graph y=x%2B5
to graph linear function you need two points that lie on the graph of a linear function, plot them, and draw a line through
easiest is to find intercepts (x,0) and (0,y)
(x,0) will be:
0=x%2B5=> x=-5
point is (-5,0)
and (0,y) will be:
y=0%2B5=> y=5
point is (0,5)
make table
x|y
-5|0
0|5

plot these points and draw a line through

Use the equation as given in its slope-intercept form, since how to graph the line from such a form is quick and uncomplicated.
Point on axis is (0,5) and slope is 1.

Plug in x = 0 to find that y = 5
Plug in x = 1 to find that y = 6
Two points on this line are (0,5) and (1,6)

Another way to find the 2nd point is to use the slope.
slope = rise/run = 1/1
rise = 1 = go up 1
run = 1 = go right 1
Start at (0,5) and move up 1 and go right 1 to arrive at (1,6)

Desmos or GeoGebra are two great graphing tools to use.
Or if you prefer something like a TI83, then stick to that.
