Graph the line with the given point and slope. please help!!!!?

Question

The line through (-2, 5) with slope -1

Answer 1

a line is y=mx+b...

m is slope

and u have an x and a y

so plug them in

5=(-1)(-2)+b

solve for b

5=2+b

3=b

and then write

y=-1x+3 / y=-x+3

hope I helped!

feel free to email me at [e-mail] w/ more questions

oh sorry and u said u need to graph it~

so yeah now the "y intercept" where x=0 AKA the y axis...there is a point on +3...and the slope is -1 which is -1/1 which means slope {rise over run} u rise -1 units for every +1 unit...u go down one unit for every unit u go left....so then u can graph it~

this way u can make sure that ur original line -2,5 is on the line too =)

Answer 2

Graph the point -2, 5.

Put your pencil on the dot, and go down one square and right one square.  Make another point.  Connect the dots, and extend the line on both sides.

Answer 3

m=-1

y-5=-1(x-(-2))

y-5=-1(x+2)

y-5=-x-2

y=-x+3
