Recognize the linear nature of the equation.
There are no exponents or radicals involved.
You can pick two arbitrary values for x and plug them in; plot the points; and draw a line connecting the two.
Or, you can set x and then y to be equal to 0 and solve to get the two possible intercepts.
( 0 ) = - x + 5
x = 5
P 1 = ( 5 , 0 )
y = - ( 0 ) + 5
y = 5
P 2 = ( 0 , 5 )
Plot these points and draw a line connecting them:
