QUESTION:

Graph the function

f(x)= -2x-5


ANSWER:

Here we can take the given function as,

y = -2x - 5

Now give some arbitrary values for x in the given function, then you will get corresponding values of y.

For example, if you give x = 0,

then y = -2* 0 - 5 = 0 - 5 = -5

That is when x = 0, we have y = -5

Similary find our some more values for x and y.

Now plot these values in a graph paper.


Then the graph will come like this.....


+graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-9%2C+9%2C+-10%2C10%2C+-2x-5%29+


(From this graph you can see that the straight lines passes through point(0,-5).



Hope you understood.
