Question

graph the line using the y-intercept and slope
y = -3x - 5
SHOW ALL STEPS

Answer 1

Since -5 is the y-intercept, make a point at -5 on the y-intercept on your graph.

Step2:
Your slope here is -3/1 (coefficient of 'x')
A slope is RISE/RUN = -3/1
You will move three units down since the slope is -3
and move 1 to the right, hence making -3/1.


Step 3. Keep going until you make a long enough line. (Keep going 3 units down from there, and one unit to the right, to plot another point.

Answer 2

start at the point (0,-5) which is you intercept.

Then remember that your slope is y/x so -3/1
So from -5 go down 3 then to the right 1, which would be the point (1,-8)
Then draw a line though both points.
