See the given explanation

Explanation:

By taking subsequent variables as zero, one by one we can plot the entire line the equation plots easily
For this particular equation, y=−x+2

So, first, let's take y=0⇒0=−x+2⇒x=2
So the first point for plotting is (2,0)

Next let's take x=0⇒y=0+2⇒y=2
So the second point for plotting is (0,2)

So the points to be considered are (2,0) and (0,2)
Drawing a graph, we see how the equation plots itself.
graph{y+x=2 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Note, we could have solved this by intercept form too, but generally the above method is more better as it helps save time.
