How would I graph a line with a slope of -3
and passing through the points of (-1,1)?
-------
Plot the point(-1,1) with a pencil.
-----
The slope is -3/1
That means "as x increases 1, y decreases 3"::
----
From (-1,1) move the percil 1 to the right to (0,1)
Then move the pencil down 3 to (0,-2)
Put a point at (0,-2)
-----
Draw a line thru (-1,1),(0,-2) to see the graph.
