$m = 1 = 1/1$ and $y$ -intercept: $(0, -2)$

From the $y$ -intercept form of the line $y = mx + b$ you can find the slope $m$ and the $y$ -intercept.

$m = 1/1$ and $y$ -intercept: $(0, -2)$

Plot the $y$ -intercept point $(0, -2)$ where $x = 0, y = -2$

From this point, use your slope to move up $1$ in the positive $y$ direction and $1$ in the positive $x$ direction and place a point.

Draw a line that passes through both points. Make sure to put arrowheads on the ends of the line to show it continues forever.
