Answer:

  • See below

Explanation:

Let's start on the origin. (0, 0)

**Finding points will be very helpful.

The slope represents -1 (y) / 3 (x).

*Per every -y, x increases by 3.

Points that are included on the line:

(3, -1)

(6, -2)

(9, -3)

Reverse the slope:

*Per every y, x decreases 3.

(-3, 1)

(-6, 2)

(-9, 3)

Conclusion:

Finding points for a slope will determine the movement of a line. This will be the main thing you'll need to do if you only have the slope given.
