Question

graph using slope and y intercept:
y=-8/3x-5
I have slope as -8/3 and y intercept as -5 (?)
How do I graph this?

Answer 1

plot 0, -5
from that point:
rise 8
left 3

connect the 2 points

Answer 2

y int is (0,-5)

start at that point, and use the slope of (rise/run) to go down 8 points right 3 points.

down 8 points, right 3 points.

down 8 points, right 3 points.

continue until your hand falls off and/or you run out of graph paper

Answer 3

let x=0 y will =-5 so the coordinate will be (0, 5)
then let y=0 x will = 0.5 and coordinate will be (0.5, 0)
the draw this coordinate (0,5) and (0.5, 0)
