Graph the line with slope 1/3 passing through the points (-1,-1)
:
Use point slope formula; y - y1 = m(x - x1)
In your problem: y1 = -1; x1 = -1; m = 1/3
:
y - (-1) = (x - (-1))
:
y + 1 = (x + 1); minus a minus is a plus
:
Multiply what's inside the brackets
y + 1 = x +
:
y = x + - 1
Which is:
y = x + -
:
y = x - is the equation to graph
:
Plot at least two points
x = -3
y = (-3) -
y = -1 -
y = -1
and
x = +3
y = (3) -
y = +1 -
y =
:
Should look like this:

:
You can confirm the solution by substituting -1 for x, and finding y
y = (-1) -
y = -
y = -1, as you were given
