Graph a line with a slope of -5 that contains the point (-3,-4)
Let's find theY intercept
y=mx+b is the equation in slope intercept form
plug x,y,m
-4= (-5)(-3)+ b
-4 = 15+b
b=-19
The line intercepts the Y axis at (0,-19)
The equation of the line will be y =(-5)x-19
y=-5x-19
you can use a graphing calculator
OR
plot points (-3,-4) and (0,-19) and draw the required line
