Graph the line that has a slope of -1/3 and contains the point (3-7)
------
Plot the point (3,-7)
----
slope = -1/3 means y decreases 1/3 when x increases by 1
------
Let x increase by 3, then y decreases by 3(1/3) = 1
-----
Put your pencil at (3,-7)
Increase x by 3 to (6,-7)
Decrease y by 1 to (6,-8)
---
Plot the point (6,-8)
----
Draw the graph as a line thru (3,-7),(6,-8)
