For a start,this equation does not represent a line - it represents a curve.
I have to admit I'm puzzled - how can you have been asked to draw the curve when you appear not to what y = e^x looks like ? If you do know what it looks like, treat this as two separate graphs : y1 = e^x, and y2 = -x; select several x-coordinates, mark them on your sketch, and add their y-coordinates to get several points on a new curve y = y1 + y2 i.e. y= e^x - x.
If you haven't heard of y = e^x, then I don't think I could explain on "Answers" how to draw the graph.
