$\"-3\"$ is a fraction, the denominator is just $\"1\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "Maybe thinking about it that way will help you.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So start with the y-intercept ( $\"0\"$ , $\"2\"$ ).
\n" ); document.write( "The slope is change in $\"y\"$ divided by change in $\"x\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "So if I move $\"1\"$ unit in $\"x\"$ , I should move $\"-3\"$ units in $\"y\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "( $\"0\"$ , $\"2\"$ )+( $\"1%7D%7D%5D%2C%7B%7B%7B-3\"$ )=( $\"0%2B1\"$ , $\"2-3\"$ )=( $\"1\"$ , $\"-1\"$ )
\n" ); document.write( "So then ( $\"1\"$ , $\"-1\"$ ) is another point on the line.
\n" ); document.write( "Plot those two points and connect them with the line.
