Find points (x,y); assign values for x and calculate or evaluate the corresponding y values. Plot points on a Cartesian system and draw the line through the points.

That form of equation, y=mx+b is the SLOPE-INTERCEPT form of the equation for a line. The slope is m and the y-axis intercept is (0,b). You can make your graph using these.
