Question

Graph the line passing through -1 and -5 whose slope is m equals 1/5

Answer 1

Expanation:

FIrst we have to locate point (-1, -5) in the coordinate plane (in red).

Then we have to use the slope to find another point from there. The slope is:

`m=(\Delta y)/(\Delta x)`

If the slope is 1/5 it means that we have to move 5 units to the right (in orange) from the point and then 1 unit up (in light blue). That's the second point (in dark green). Now we just have to draw a line passing through those two points:

Answer:

The graph of the line is:
