To graph the equation y = -3x+5, we can create a table of values and plot the corresponding points on a coordinate plane.
Let's choose some values for x and plug them into the equation to find the corresponding values of y:
When x = 0, y = -3(0) + 5 = 5
When x = 1, y = -3(1) + 5 = 2
When x = 2, y = -3(2) + 5 = -1
When x = 3, y = -3(3) + 5 = -4
Now let's plot these points on a graph:
(x, y)
(0, 5)
(1, 2)
(2, -1)
(3, -4)
Now we can connect the points to create a straight line.
