I am using the y=mx+b slope intercept method.  so I know my y intercept is 100 and my slope is -6 over 1. My question is when i graph this - what scale should i use on the y axis so i don't have to use 1:1 ratio and then also am i required to use the same scale on the x axis? (and if my answers above aren't accurate please correct me!)\r<BR>\n" );
