Work Step by Step
Using $y=mx+b$, the given equation, $
y=-5x
,$ has the following characteristics:
\begin{array}{l}\require{cancel}
\text{Slope: }
m=-5
\\\text{$y$-intercept: }
b=0
.\end{array}
To graph this line, start with the $y-$intercept of $(
0,0
)$. From the $y-$intercept, the slope, $m=
-5=\dfrac{-5}{1}
$ can be interpreted as moving $5$ units down and $1$ unit to the right. Hence, the second point for graphing is the point $(
1,-5
)$.
