graph the line with slope -2/3 passing through (-5, -5)
3 answers
Slope is rise over run, so plot a point at (-5, -5) and go up 2, over to the right 3. Then from (-5, -5) go down 2 and left 3
y + 5 = -2/3 x -10/3
y = -2/3 x -10/3-5
y = -2/3 x -25/3
y = -2/3 x -10/3-5
y = -2/3 x -25/3
easiest way:
since the slope is -2/3, the equation must look like this:
2x + 3y = C
plug in the point (-5,-5)
-10 - 15 = c = -25
2x + 3y = -25
re-arrange if needed.
