B. Start at (4,8) and move up 5 units, then 2 units to the left.
C. Start at (4,8) and move down 2 units, then 5 units to the right.
D. Start at (4,8) and move up 2 units, then 5 units to the left.

Answer 1

To graph the point (4,8) with a slope of -5/2, start at (4,8) and move down 5 units, then 2 units to the right.

Step-by-step explanation:

To graph the point (4,8) with a slope of -5/2, we need to start at the given point (4,8) and move down 5 units, then 2 units to the right. The correct answer is option A. Starting at (4,8), we move down 5 units to reach the point (4,3), then move 2 units to the right to reach the final point (6,3).
