#"see explanation"#

Explanation:

#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.

#•color(white)(x)y=mx+c#

#"where m is the slope and c the y-intercept"#

#"rearrange "2x-y=1" into this form"#

#y=2x-1#

#"with slope "=2" and y-intercept "=-1#

#"Plot the point "(0,-1)#

#"from this point move 2 units vertically and 1 unit to"#
#"the right"#

#(0,-1)to(1,1)#

#"repeat this from the point "(1,1)#

#(0,-1)to(1,1)to(2,3)#

#"Plot these points and draw a straight line through them"#
graph{(y-2x+1)((x-0)^2+(y+1)^2-0.04)((x-1)^2+(y-1)^2-0.04)((x-2)^2+(y-3)^2-0.04)=0 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
