Question 350962: Graph the line through (-2,5)with slope -1
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First plot the point (-2,5)


Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means


Also, because the slope is , this means:




So this means that you go down one unit and then go to the right one unit to plot the next point (-1,4)





Finally, draw a straight line through the points to graph the line





So the graph of the line through (-2,5) with slope -1 is
