# How do you sketch a graph with x-intercept of 1 and y-intercept of -5?

Assuming that the function is a line, the graph is immediately obatined: the $x$ intecept is $1$, so the point $\left(1 , 0\right)$ belongs to the line. The same goes for the $y$ intercept: it says us that the point $\left(0 , - 5\right)$ belongs to the line.
