Question

Graph the line with slope -2 passing through the point (4, 1)

Answer 1

Answer:

Use points (4,1) and (3,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the other coordinates are (x,y).

Then, we know (1-y)/(4-x)=2. So if y is -1, and x is 3, then we get:

[1-(-1)]/(4-3)=2/1=2

So draw the two points, (4,1) and (3,-1) on a coordinate plane, and use a ruler to make a line that goes through both the points.
