this is a straight line on a graph.
A straight line only needs two points to draw it.
the easiest points to find are when x=0 and when y =0 they are called the intercepts because they intersect or intercept the axes.
so set y=0 in the equation and solve for x
set x=0 and solve for y
no graph or plot those points and connect with a straight line.

To determine the points
1. Make a table with two columns.
2. Label one "x", the other "y".
3. Write an x value and solve for y using the formula
4. Those would be your first x and y point.
5. Do it again with another x value to obtain a second point.
6. You need at least two points to be able to draw a line in the cartesian plane
7. You may calculate more points, they would verify that you're in the right track.

Here is how the graph would look like for
