Graph is available for this linear equation

Slope-Intercept Form : $color(red)(y = mx+b)$

where

$color(red)m$ is the Slope and

$color(red)b$ is the y-Intercept

Note that

if $color(green)(m >0)$ we have a Positive Slope

if $color(green)(m <0)$ we have a Negative Slope

Zero Slope refers to a horizontal line

In our Linear Equation $color(blue)(y = -1/5x+2),$

since $color(red)(m < 0)$ we will have a Negative Slope

Note that $color(red)(b =2)$ is our y-Intercept
