Question 526266: I need to graph a line with the indicated slope and y intercept.
slope= -6
y-int= (0,9).
But I don't know how to graph the slope, because i have never encountered a single number slope... I'm very new to this. previously I have solved slopes like 6/8, or 11/3, but never -6. Can you please help?? Thank you very much.

Any integer can be represented as a fraction simply by supplying a denominator of 1, thus:



So, down 6 and to the right 1.

I can show you the graph of this line
The general slope-intercept form id
+y+=+mx+%2B+b+
given:
+m+=+-6+
+b+=+9+
+y+=+-6x+%2B+9+
+graph%28+400%2C+400%2C+-5%2C+5%2C+-5%2C+12%2C+-6x+%2B+9%29+
As you can see, the line slopes from
upper left to lower right, the opposite of
a positive slope
