Graph an equation with a negative fractional slope

The video tutorial explains how to graph a linear equation in slope-intercept form. It begins by discussing the components needed, such as the slope and y-intercept, and how to identify them. The tutorial then demonstrates plotting these components on a graph, using the slope to determine the rate of change between points. The process is illustrated with a specific example, showing how to handle fractions in the slope and how to connect the plotted points to form the line.

What is the main advantage of having a fraction as the slope in a linear equation?

• It eliminates the need for a y-intercept.

• It simplifies the equation.

• It helps in understanding the rate of change.

• It makes calculations easier.

How is the y-intercept represented in a graph?

• As a fraction

• As a slope

• As a coordinate point

• As a line

What is the y-intercept in the given equation?

• (7, 0)

• (11, 0)

• (0, 11)

• (0, 7)

How can the slope of -7/3 be interpreted for plotting the graph?

• Move up 7 units and right 3 units

• Move down 7 units and right 3 units

• Move up 3 units and right 7 units

• Move down 3 units and right 7 units

What is the final step in graphing the linear equation?

• Identifying the slope

• Identifying the y-intercept

• Connecting the plotted points

• Calculating the x-intercept
