Math Problem Statement
Solution
To graph the line with a slope of passing through the point :
-
Understand the slope: A slope of means that for every 2 units you move to the right along the x-axis, you move 1 unit up along the y-axis.
-
Plot the given point: Start by plotting on the graph.
-
Use the slope to find another point:
- From , move 2 units to the right and 1 unit up to get the next point: .
-
Draw the line:
- Draw a straight line passing through these two points ( and ).
- You can extend the line in both directions if needed.
-
Verify the graph: Ensure that the line's slope matches , and it crosses the point .
