Question

Graph the line with slope 1/3 passing through the point (5,-5).

Answer 1

$slope=\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}\\\\slope=\dfrac{1}{3}\to\Delta y=1\ and\ \Delta x=3\\\\1\ unit\ up\ and\ 3\ units\ right.\\\\\text{We mark the point (-5, 5). Then move it 1 unit up and 3 units to the right}\\\\Look\ at\ the\ picture.$
