Answer

The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given equation of line is $\Rightarrow y=2x+(-1)$ This is in the standard slope-intercept form. $\Rightarrow y=mx+c$, where, $m=$ slope and $c=$ $y-$intercept. From the given equation we have Slope $m=2$ and $y-$intercept $c=-1$. We have first point at $y-$intercept $(0,-1)$. We can write the slope as a fraction. $m=\frac{2}{1}=\frac{Rise}{Run}$ The second point is $2$ units up and $1$ unit to the right of the first point. Hence, the second point is $(1,1)$ Now draw a straight line using both points.
