A negative slope means the line would be going downward, so you would go down first (instead of up as with a positive slope), then over right.
Therefore, you would go down 4 (or negative 4 considering you are going down) and right 1.
Rise over run still applies here. Rise over run is a fancy way of saying to put the number (or slope) in fraction form.
-4 as a fraction would be -4/1.
So start at (5,3), go down 4 and over 1, repeatedly and you got it.
**Just remember the rise over run can be confusing with negative slopes.**
Answer:
y = 8x + 38
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope we set up y = mx + b and plug m (our slope) in and then plug in the point into x and y to find b (our y-intercept)
y = mx + b
y = 8x + b
6 = 8(-4) + b
6 = -32 + b
+32 +32
38 = b
So using our slope and our intercept we have our slope intercept
y = mx + b
y = 8x + 38
Hope this helps :)
