Answer: The line that contains the points A and B
Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked to graph the line that contains the point (3,4) and has a slope of -2.
We would start things off by plotting our point, (3,4).
If you need a review on plotting points, take a look below.
The first number in our point represents the x coordinate or how far we move to the left or right from the origin.
The second number in our point represents the y coordinate or how far we move up or down from the origin.
So we go over 3 units and up 4 units and call that point A.
In order to graph a line however, we need two points
and that's where our slope comes in.
Remember that slope means rise over run. So from our original point that we have already plotted, we rise -2 units and run 1 unit.
When you have a slope that's an integer like -2, just put it over 1.
After rising 2 units and running 1 unit, plot your second point
which I have plotted as point B.
You could if you wanted to continue to plot more and more points but we just need at least two points to graph a line.
So our answer is then the line that contains the points A and B.
