Question 186147: I was gone when the teacher went over this and I can not understand the book.
The question is: Draw a line which has
A slope of 2/3

I have a drawing (small) on an answer sheet. My question is how do you figure that out to draw the line and where you draw it at?

Thank you./

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You are only asked to draw a line with a given slope. Since you are not given a specific point, the are an infinite number of lines that you can draw.
Pick a point. Let's say you pick the point (1,1).
Now move up two and to the right 3 (since slope is 2/3). That means you will be at point (3,4).
Now draw the line that contains those two points.
If you start with a different point, you'll see you can get a different line.
Make sense?
