1) Locate y-intercept. 2) Use slope. 3) Locate three points. 4) Connect the dots. Our problem was 3/5x -3. So you move three points down. Then you move five points to the right and left. Then from the spot after coordinates (0,-3) move three points down. Your new coordinate will be (0,-6). After that look for (0,-6) and (5,0) and make a mark where they intercept. When you conncet points (-5,0), (0,-3), and (5,-6) it will make a slop. Okay I know that sounds really confusing maybe but teaching is hard! I don't know how Mr. S can do it all day! So here you go:
So here's how it SHOULD look like. FYI: if a line points left (down), its a negative line. And then if iit points right (up), its a positive line.
