Question

misssmartiez · Answer

How do I find and put the slope?

mathmale · Answer

I think you mean:  "Find the equation of the straight line with slope 1/4 and passing thru the point (0,-4).

The slope is given in the problem statement.

Please plot the point (0,-4) now.

Question –“Draw a line with a slope of ¼ through the point (0, -4)”

@mathmale

mathmale · Answer

As before:  Please graph the given point (0,-4).

Next, draw through that point a line with slope 1/4.    Note that a slope of 1/4 points to a "run" of 4 and a "rise" of 1.

Which answer graph best fits this problem?

misssmartiez · Answer

Nothing fits 4,1 and 0,-4. I DON'T get how I am to label the slope. @mathmale

mathmale · Answer

Would you be willing to draw a set of x- and y-axes in the Draw utility and then plot and label the point (0,-4)?
