Re: TY
when using
y = mx + b
-12 = 3(-11) + b
21 = b
and y = 3x + 21, a positive slope tells us the line slants towards the right.
.....
Choosing two points to plot and connect, reaffirms that.
***Using point-slope form, y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+m%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29P(-11,-12)
y + 12 = 3(x+11)
y = 3x + 21
P(-7,0) and (-5, 6) are two points on this Line. Plot and connect with line
