Algebra.Com's Answer #517557 by Fombitz(32388)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! First graph the y intercept (when x=0). \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "So the first point is (0,5) \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "THe slope describes the change in y divided by the change in x. So if I move 7 units in x, I need to move -3 units in y. \n" ); document.write( "Start at (0,5). \n" ); document.write( "(0,5)+(7,-3)=(0+7,5-3)=(7,2) \n" ); document.write( "That's another point on the line. \n" ); document.write( "Plot it and draw the line through both points. \n" ); document.write( " |
