Question 1019265: I have a slope of 15 over 8 and a slope of 3 over 8. Can someone please help me figure out what the graph should look like and how to graph it? Thank you.

A slope of 1/1 makes a 45 degree angle in the 1st quadrant
As you make the top number larger, the line gets closer to
the y-axis ( slope increases )
-----------------------
As you make the bottom number larger, the line gets closer
to the x-axis ( slope decreases )
-----------------------------
Here are graphs of slopes 3/8, 8/8, and 15/8:
