Sketch the graph of a line that crosses through the point (0,0) and has a slope of -1/3

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Point-slope formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I start from the slope formula?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Oh, whoops.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

You could, if it helps you out.

|dw:1378162887433:dw|would it be like this?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Well it says it goes through (0, 0)

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Plus it has a negative slope so it will decrease and look like this: |dw:1378163178301:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, so it needs to be undefined correct?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

It's not undefined

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

If you used the point slope formula, you would of gotten this equation: y=-1/3(x)

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

For every value of 3 you would of 1, 2, 3, ... etc. but in the opposite direction: |dw:1378163650283:dw| Plug in vlaues
