Question

Explain how you would graph the line containing a slope
of -1/5 that goes through the point (1,4).​

Answer 1

Slope = rise/run

So we can let the rise be -1, and the run be 5

So take the point (1,4)

"Rise" it by -1 (lower it by 1): (1,3)

Run by 5 (move to the right by 5): (6,3)

Now take these two points (1,4) and (6,3) and draw a line connecting them.
