I need help on this graph

Question

Graph a line with the indicated slope and y-intercept.

y=-6 and y-intercept (0,9)

Answer 1

The graph has a slope m=-6 and a y-intercept (0,9). 

 

Ann, you wrote y instead of m;

I used the statement before that to assign the slope; so by definition 

slope= RISE/RUN, in this case it is DROP, slope is negative, m =(-6/1)

1. Plot the y-intercept, (0,9), from this point
2. Drop 6 to (0,3) then move right 1 to (1,3), PLOT this point; then
3. Drop 6 to (1,-3) then move right 1 to (2,-3). PLOT this point [this step optional]
4. Now connect your points using a straight edge.
