SOLUTION: I have to graph a line. The only coordinate is (0,0) and the slope is -1. I figured the y-intercept to be 0. How do i find another point or graph the line?

---------
Plot (0,0)
--
Since the slope is -1/1, y decreases 1 when x increases 1.
---
Put your pencil point on (0,0).
Move it 1 to the right to (1,0).
Then move it 1 down to (1,-1) and plot a point.
---------------
Draw your ine thru (0,0),(1,-1).
That is your greaph.
