Plot the point (3,0):Now look at the slope. . The numerator is 2. It is a negative fraction. So we draw a line 2 units long downward from that point (3,0). (Downward because the fraction is negative. It is upward when the slope fraction is positive) That's the green line below: Now we look back at the slope. . The denominator is 3. So we draw a line 3 units long to the right from the end of that green line that. (We ALWAYS draw the denominator number to the RIGHT!) That's the other green line below: Now we take a ruler and draw a line through (3,0) and the end of the second green line, like this ---------------- Note: on some problems, the slope is not a fraction but a whole number. In that case, just put a 1 under the whole number and it will be a fraction. For instance 5 is the fraction . Edwin
