SOLUTION: Explain how you would graph the line containing a slope of �1/5 that goes through the point (1,�4)

Question 884508: Explain how you would graph the line containing a slope of �1/5 that goes through the point (1,�4)

Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Plot the point (1,-4).
Slope tells you the change in y over change in x.
So if you move 5 places in x, you move down one place in y.
(1,-4)+(5,-1)=(6,-5)
Plot the point (6,-5).
Draw the line going through both points.
