Given the slope 1/7 and point (0,5) we are asked to graph a line.

To do this, the first thing we need to do is to plot the given data.

Plot the given point (0,5)

Next, since we know that the slope of a line is rise/run, given the slope 1/7, it means that from the point (0,5) we will "rise" 1 unit or move 1 unit up, and then "run" 7 units, or move 7 units to the right.

And then, we just connect the two points to form a line
