If you only want to graph the line, then the one point and the given slope are all that you need. Plot the point. Use the slope. DRAW the line.

Graph the line that passes through the point (2,0) and has slope m=-1
to graph a line we need two points
firsts use given data to find equation of this line
y=mx%2Bb use the point (2,0) and has slope m=-1 to calculate b
0=-1%2A2%2Bb
0=-2%2Bb
b=2-> y-intercept which is at (0,2)
your line is:
y=+-x%2B2
plot the point (2,0) and (0,2) and draw a line through
