- For the equation y = -2x - 8:
- The y-intercept is -8, so plot a point at (0, -8).
- The slope is -2, which means for every 1 unit increase in x, y decreases by 2 units.
- From (0, -8), move right 1 unit and down 2 units to plot another point at (1, -10).
- Draw a straight line through these points.
- For the equation y = 4x + 5:
- The y-intercept is 5, so plot a point at (0, 5).
- The slope is 4, which means for every 1 unit increase in x, y increases by 4 units.
- From (0, 5), move right 1 unit and up 4 units to plot another point at (1, 9).
- Draw a straight line through these points.
