Q. Graph this line using the slope and y-intercept:y=−51x−5Click to select points on the graph.
Find y-intercept: Find the y-intercept from the equation y=−51x−5; the y-intercept is the constant term, which is −5.Plot the point (0,−5) on the graph.
Determine slope: Determine the slope from the equation; the slope is the coefficient of x, which is −51.This means for every 5 units you move to the right, you move 1 unit down.
Plot next point: Starting from the y-intercept (0,−5), move 5 units to the right and 1 unit down to find the next point.Plot this point on the graph; it should be (5,−6).
Draw straight line: Draw a straight line through the points (0,−5) and (5,−6) to graph the line.
