Graphing Given a Point and Slope

• y= -1x-3
• y= -3x-1
• y=(-1/3)x-1
• y= -3x-3

What are the steps for graphing a line?

• Plot y-intercept
  count slope ratio plot second point
  Draw the line.

• Make a table
  Plot slope
  Draw line

• Plot two points
  Check slope
  Draw line

• Draw line
  Hope it is right

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the given point with the given slope:

What are the steps for graphing the equation, y=2x-5 on a coordinate plane?

• Step 1:  Plot the first point on the y-axis at (0, -5).
  
  Step 2:  From the starting point, go UP 2 : RIGHT 1 to plot the next point.

• Step 1:  Plot the first point on the x-axis at (-5, 0). 
  
  Step 2:  From the starting point, go UP 2 : RIGHT 1 to plot the next point.

• Step 1:  Plot the first point on the y-axis at (0, -5).  
  
  Step 2:  From the starting point, go UP 1 : RIGHT 2 to plot the next point.

• Step 1:  Plot the first point on the x-axis at (0, -5).  
  
  Step 2:  From the starting point, go UP 2 : RIGHT 5 to plot the next point.

• Step 1:  Plot the first point on the y-axis at (0, 3).

  
  

  Step 2:  From the starting point, go DOWN 2 : RIGHT 1 to plot the next point.

  Step 2:  From the starting point, go UP 1 : RIGHT 2 to plot the next point.

Determine the equation of the line.

Determine the equation of the line.

When graphing a line in slope-intercept form, where will you start?

• On the x-axis at the x-intercept

• On the y-axis at the y-intercept

• Anywhere on the graph works
