No three vertices are collinear, and a pair of vertices form an edge in $G$ if and only if the segment connecting them is parallel to one of the sides of a previously fixed regular pentagon. It is also proved that every finite graph with maximum degree three permits a straight-line drawing with the above properties using at most seven different edge slopes. rv:
