Question

Graph a line whose slope is 4/5 and that passes through the point (1, - 2)

Answer 1

We are asked to graph a line whose slope is 4/5 and it passes through the point (1, -2)

Recall that the slope of a line is given by

$slope=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}=\frac{4}{5}$

The rise is 4 and the run is 5.

We will start at point (1, -2) and go upward 4 units and to the right 5 units to draw the next point.

Repeating the same above process, we draw a few more points.

Then finally, we connect all these points to draw a line.
