The formula we connect with in this situation is:

y = mx + b

Where "m" is the Slope, x is the value of x at a certain point, y is the y value, and b is the y-intercept.

In this case you have " - x " which can also be written like this " -1x "

As stated above, "b" is the y-intercept and the value of b in this equation you gave is "5"

in graphs y = mx + c
m = gradient (slope)
c = constant (y intercept)

So Here
c = 5
m = -1
...

in graphs y = mx + c
m = gradient (slope)
c = constant (y intercept)

So Here
c = 5
m = -1
which means your graph should go through the axis at these points (0,5)
and (5,0)
(and obviously it wouldnt stop at those points)
