How do you graph a slope of (-1/5) and a y-intercept of 1?

Answer 1

it's a line with equation y=-x/5 +1

y intercept = the point (0,1)

x intercept is when 0=-x/5+1 or x=5, which is the point (5,0)

plot the two intercepts, (0,1) and (5,0)

draw a straight line through them

put arrows at both ends of the line segment indicating the line goes forever in both directions
