Graph the line with slope -3 passing through the point (4,-2).
first find equation of this line using point slope formula:
y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29 where m is a slope, x%5B1%5D and y%5B1%5D the coordinates of a given point
y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29..... plug in given
y-%28-2%29=-3%28x-4%29

y%2B2=-3x%2B12
y=-3x%2B12-2
y=-3x%2B10

find one more point
x|y
0|10

plot points and draw a line through
