Choose x values: Choose values for x to substitute into the equation to find corresponding y values. Let's pick x=0, 1, and −1 for simplicity.
Plot points on graph: Plot the points (0,5), (1,2), and (−1,8) on a graph. These points should line up straight since they are on the line described by the equation y=−3x+5.
Draw straight line: Draw a straight line through the plotted points to represent the equation y=−3x+5. This line will have a negative slope, going downwards as x increases.
