The y-intercept will be 1, since setting the x in the equation equal to 0 gives:
y = 0 + 1
Then, use the slope to make another point two units over and five units down, due to the equation of a slope:
$$slope = \frac{rise}{run}$$

anonymous · Answer

The general procedure is to start at the y intercept on your graph, draw a point there, and then traverse rise and run of the slope to find another point then draw a line through them. 

For example for 
$$y=\frac{2}{3}x+5$$
the y intercept is 5. Therefore there is a point at (0,5). Draw a point there. Then FROM THAT POINT move up 2 (the numerator of the slope) and to the right 3 and draw another point. Then draw a line through the two points put arrows on the line, make sure you've labeled everything and you are don.

y=mx+b  b is where the line crosses the y axis, and m is the slope, which means if you have an x of 1 you will have a y of -2/5(1) +1
