Question 882205: Graph the line through the given point and with the given slope.
(5, 3); m = 1/3

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Slope: m = rise/run = 1/3

Rise = 1
Run = 3

-------------------------------------------------------

Start with the point (5,3). Plot it on the xy coordinate grid.

Move one unit up. This is because the rise is 1.

Then move 3 units to the right since the run is 3.

You will land on the point (8,4)

Draw a straight line through those two points. This line extends infinitely in both directions

Here's the graph:
