Graph the line with the equation y=x-2

(the picture below isn't the actual graph but one that looks like exactly like it)

The image shows a Cartesian coordinate plane with a grid layout. This graph is composed of two perpendicular number lines intersecting at a point known as the origin.

- **X-Axis (Horizontal Line):** Ranges from -10 to 10. This axis represents the horizontal component of the plane and is oriented from left to right.
  
- **Y-Axis (Vertical Line):** Ranges from -10 to 10. This axis represents the vertical component of the plane, oriented from bottom to top.
  
- **Intersection Point:** The origin, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is at (0, 0).

**Grid Layout:** The plane is divided into four quadrants by the two axes, each section allowing for easy plotting of coordinates by providing a clear view of positive and negative values on both axes. The grid is marked at each integer number for precise readings and plotting.

This Cartesian plane is essential for graphing linear equations, inequalities, and various mathematical functions, providing a visual way to interpret algebraic equations and data.
