Graph the line that passes through the points (-6, 8) and (5, -3).
First you plot the points and find the slope Slope=rise over run
The slope in this case is 1
Then you find the y intercept
Y-intercept = (0,x)
The y intercept is 2
You can probably figure out the rest for yourself
:)
@SydtheKid913 watch your signs the slope is change in y/ corresponding change in x slope =-3-8/5--6 = -11/11 = -1
O whoops my bad :/ Thank you for that :)
@sydthekid913 no problem @JohnDoemath40 can you continue ?
ok my rise and run 11/11
-
@JohnDoemath40 you have to do the calculations in the same order hence corresponding -11/11 to get -1 as the slope
now use the point-slope formula with one of the given points and the point (x, y)
actually the question did not ask for the equation of the line to graph a line we need a minimum of 2 points we have the 2 points. plot the 2 points and connect them!
