Question

Graph the line with slope of 5/3 and goes through the point (2, 1).

Answer 1

y= 5/3x + -7/3

Explanation:

plug in the values into y-mx+b

1=5/3 (2) + b

solve for b

Answer 2

Point 1: (2, 1)

Point 2: (5, 6)

Explanation:

In order to graph the line, we need to know where to start. Luckily, we have our first point given. (2, 1)

Point 1: (2, 1)

A trick I know to find point 2 is:

1. rise up the y-axis by 5 points then move to the right 3

or

2. (2, 1)

+ (3, 5)

----------

Point 2: (5, 6)

I hope this helps!
