Question

Graph the line passing through (-5,1) whose slope is m=-5/6

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's find the equation of the line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 1 = (-5/6)(x + 5)

y = -5/6x -25/6 + 1

y = -5/6 x - 19/6

So when x = 0, y = -19/6.

Now plot the 2 points (-5, 1) and (0, -19/6) and draw a line through them to graph the line.
