Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the equation to be graphed

The given equation is \( y = -2x + 5 \).

Step 2: Determine the range for the plot

To graph the equation, we need to choose a suitable range for \( x \) and \( y \). Let's use the range \( -10 \leq x \leq 10 \) and calculate the corresponding \( y \) values.

Step 3: Calculate the corresponding \( y \) values

For \( x = -10 \): \[ y = -2(-10) + 5 = 20 + 5 = 25 \]

For \( x = 10 \): \[ y = -2(10) + 5 = -20 + 5 = -15 \]

Final Answer

The equation \( y = -2x + 5 \) is a straight line with a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of 5.
