Question

graph the line with slope 3/5 and y-intercept -5

Answer 1

Answer 2

Draw a point for the y-intercept - it's on the y-axis at y = -5 (the point (0, -5) like this:

Then use the slope to find another point. The slope of 3/5 means the y-value changes by 3 (positive 3) when the x-value changes by 5 (positive 5). So from the point you drew, go up 3 and right 5 and draw the second point. Then draw a line through the 2 points. Like this:
