Question 355861: how do I graph Slope -3; and y-intercept (0,2)??
I'm having troubles when the slope is not a fraction! Found 2 solutions by Fombitz, ewatrrr:Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! is a fraction, the denominator is just .
Maybe thinking about it that way will help you.

So start with the y-intercept (,).
The slope is change in divided by change in .
So if I move unit in , I should move units in .
(,)+()=(,)=(,)
So then (,) is another point on the line.
Plot those two points and connect them with the line.

Note: All slopes can be thought of as being fractions. m = -3 or (-3/1) for ex
.
Question states the slope intercept form of the line is
y = -3x + 2
.
Pt(0,2) on the line. another would be Pt.(1,-1) As y decreases by 3, x increase by 1.
