Question

Graph the line with a slope of 2/5 that goes through (3,1)

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = \dfrac{2x}{5} - \dfrac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\bullet \ \ \text{Slope of line:}\ \dfrac{2}{5} \\\\ \bullet \ \text{Passes through:} \ (3, 1)$

To determine the equation of the line, we will use point slope form.

Formula of point slope form:

• → y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Where "x₁" and "y₁" are the coordinates of the point and "m" is the slope.

Substitute the coordinates and the slope:

$:\implies y - 1 = \dfrac{2}{5} (x - 3)$

Simplify the R.H.S:

$:\implies y - 1 = \dfrac{2x}{5} - \dfrac{6}{5}$

Add 1 both sides:

$:\implies y - 1 + 1 = \dfrac{2x}{5} - \dfrac{6}{5} + 1$

Simplify the equation:

$:\implies y = \dfrac{2x}{5} - \dfrac{6}{5} + \dfrac{5}{5}$

$:\implies \boxed{y = \dfrac{2x}{5} - \dfrac{1}{5}}$

Graphing the line on a coordinate plane:

In this case, we are already given a point (3, 1). We can simply plot the y-intercept $[\bold{\frac{-1}{5} }]$ on the coordinate plane. Then, we can draw a straight line through both points. It is suggested that you use a ruler to do so.

Answer 2

Answer:

See attachment and explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

slope is x/y, which means for each x how many y's it moves by.

so,

2/5 means for every 2 x's it goes up by 5 y's.

so,

you take the point A and go right 2 and go up 5. That's the next point (5,6)

Same with the point other side of A. Go left 2 and go down 5. That's another point (1,-4)

Since, the slope 2/5 is positive, the line will be an increasing line. As shown in the attached image.
