Answer: Plot the two points (3,-6) and (1, -5). Draw a straight line through those points.

See the graph below.

=============================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot the point (3, -6)

The slope -1/2 means the rise is -1 and the run is 2

  • rise = -1
  • run = 2

If we moved to the right, then we'd drop down 1 and move to the right 2. That would move us from (3,-6) to (5,-7)

We can go in reverse of this. So instead of "move down 1", we move up 1. We're going left instead of right.

-----------

So we start at (3,-6) and move up 1 and to the left 2 to arrive at (1,-5)

Two points on this line are (1, -5) and (3, -6)

Once we have two points, we have enough to graph the line.

See the graph below.

Answer:

To graph this line, move one of the points to positive three on the horizontal (side to side) line and negative six on the vertical (up and down) line. To get a slope of negative 1/2 you move down one point and right two points, and you continue until you reach the edge of the graph. Then you do the opposite on the way up (up one and left two).

Hope this helps!
