Question

Graphing a line through a given point with a given slope

graph the line with slope 2 passing through the point (-1,5)

Answer 1

Look at the picture.

Mark the point (-1, 5) in the coordinate system.

We have a slope of m = 2 = 2/1.

Therefore, go 2 units to the right and 1 unit to up.

Mark the second point.

Draw a line passing through the given points.
