The standard form for an equation that is linear is
y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y intercept
If you know slope and intercept, simply plug in different values of x and solve y and graph
For example
if y = 3x + 4
when x =0 y = 4
when x =1 y = 7
when x =2 y = 10
plot points (0,4) (1,7) (2,10) on graph

What is the slope intercept form for x-y-1?
The graph of an equation can have a slope and an intercept. Sadly, "x-y-1" is not an equation, so it doesn't have any.
What is the y intercept and slope in this equation x equals -5?
There is no y-intercept or slope for this given equation, because its graph is a vertical line perpendicular to the x-axis.
Can you use a graph to write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?
Yes
