Step 1: Put the equation in Slope Intercept Form.
Step 2: Graph the y-intercept point (the number in the b position) on the y-axis. ...
Step 3: From the point plotted on the y-axis, use the slope to find your second point. ...
Step 4: Draw your line using the two points you plotted (y-intercept (b) first, slope (m) second.

0 = -2X - 7
2X = -7
X = -7/2
Now plot (-7/2, 0)
Then set X to 0 and solve for Y
Y = -2(0) - 7
Y = -7
Now plot (0,-7)
Run a line between those two points and you have your graph.
I chose 0, but you can do this with any number.
Try 1
1 = -2x -7
8 = -2x
8/-2 = x

OpenStudy (torilovesvampires):
