The graph will be a dashed straight line, with shading below the line.

Explanation:

#y<-2x+5#

Determine 2 points by substituting values for #x# and solve for #y#.

#x=-2,# #y=9#
#x=0,# #y=5#

Plot the points and draw a dashed straight line through the points to indicate that the points are not on the line. Then shade the area below the line.

graph{y<-2x+5 [-12.92, 7.08, -0.58, 9.42]}
