graph an equation using the slope intercept form y=5x-6
-----
slope = 5
y-int = (0,-6)
----
Put your pencil on (0,-6)
-----
Since m = 5, y increases 5 when x increase by 1.
------
Move your pencil 1 to the right to (1,-6) then upwards 5 to (1,-1)
---
Put a point at (1,-1)
----
Draw a line that passes thru (0,-6) and (1,-1)
That is the graph you want.
Cheers,
