-6/5 is the slope. you start at point (0,0) and then move down 6 units and to the right 5 units and then create one point. from that point, go down 6 units and to the right 5 units and repeat. when you reach the bottom of the graph stop. go back to (0,0) and then move up 6 units and to the left 5 units. connect the points with a ruler and add arrows to each side. label your line with "y=-6/5x" on the line
The <u>rise</u> is the difference in y-coordinates:
The <u>run</u> is the difference in x-coordinates:
The <u>slope</u> is the quotient of rise over run:
========================
If two points on a line are A(10, −3) and B(12, 9), the rise is <u>12</u>, and the run is <u>2</u>, so the slope of the line is <u>6</u>.
Yes it would because you would divide 3.5 from both sides
