Question 526266: I need to graph a line with the indicated slope and y intercept.
slope= -6
y-int= (0,9).
But I don't know how to graph the slope, because i have never encountered a single number slope... I'm very new to this. previously I have solved slopes like 6/8, or 11/3, but never -6. Can you please help?? Thank you very much.
