(see below for an alternative to using the slope)

Given $y=5x-5$

Select a few (arbitrary) values for $x$ , say $x in {0,1,2}$

Evaluate corresponding values for $y$ using the given equation:

${:(color(black)x,color(white)("XX"),color(black)y), (0,,-5),(1,,0),(2,,5) :}$

Plot each pair on the Cartesian plane
and draw a line through the resulting points:
