Answer:

Explanation:

If you are given the slope and a pair of points, then the first step is to plot the points on the graph. After this, you would then look at the slope and do rise / run. For example, if the slope is 2, then you would go from the previous point that you plotted on the graph and you would rise (go up or down based on the sign) 2 points, and then you would run (go left or right based on the sign). This will then give you your second and third point and you can draw your line. Hope this helped!
