Question 627926: Write the slope-intercept equation for the line with slope 4/5 and y-intercept (0, -1) and graph the line. Submit your graph to the Dropbox. Please show all of your work. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
I'll tell you what you need to do and then YOU can show YOUR work.
is the slope-intercept form. Replace with the given slope and replace with the -coordinate of the given -intercept point.
Once you have written your equation, select a value for . Given the value for the slope, I would choose a multiple of 5. Substitute this value for and do the arithmetic to determine the value of that results. Form the ordered pair using the value you chose and the value that resulted from your calculation. Plot that point.
Repeat the process with a different value of . Again, choosing a multiple of 5 will simplify your arithmetic. Repeat the above process.
Once you have two points plotted, sketch a straight line through them.
