\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Looking at \"y=-%285%2F6%29x-5\" we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form \"y=mx%2Bb\" where the slope is \"m=-5%2F6\" and the y-intercept is \"b=-5\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since \"b=-5\" this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So we have one point \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now since the slope is comprised of the \"rise\" over the \"run\" this means\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"slope=rise%2Frun\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, because the slope is \"-5%2F6\", this means:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"rise%2Frun=-5%2F6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "which shows us that the rise is -5 and the run is 6. This means that to go from point to point, we can go down 5 and over 6\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So starting at , go down 5 units \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and to the right 6 units to get to the next point \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now draw a line through these points to graph \"y=-%285%2F6%29x-5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " So this is the graph of \"y=-%285%2F6%29x-5\" through the points and
