To graph the function y = -5x + 3, you can choose various values for x, calculate the corresponding y values, and plot the points. Since it's a linear function (in the form y = mx + b), you only need two points to determine a line. For example:
1. When x = 0, y = 3 (giving you the point (0, 3)).
2. When x = 1, y = -2 (giving you the point (1, -2)).
You can use these points to graph the line.
