Graph the line with slope 3 passing through the point -4,1 .

Question

Graph the line with slope
3
passing through the point
−4,1
. what is the second point other than (-4,1)

Answer 1

Kay, the first step to graphing the line is to start at point (-4,1). Since the slope is 3, the next point is (-3,4) if you go up 3 units and one unit right, or the next point is (-5,-2) if you go 3 units down and 1 unit left. The point is slope is simply a ratio between a change of y-coordinates and x-coordinates of two points on a line. 

 

Note: slope=rise/run = 3/1

 

Hope this helps.
