Math Problem Statement
Graph the line with slope 1 passing through the point (4, 5).
Solution
To graph the line with slope passing through the point , we follow these steps:
Steps to Graph the Line:
-
Plot the point :
- Locate the point where and on the coordinate plane. This is your starting point.
-
Use the slope :
- Slope means the line rises by unit vertically for every unit it moves horizontally. This is commonly referred to as a slope of .
-
Draw additional points:
- From the point , move 1 unit right to and 1 unit up to . This gives the next point .
- Repeat this to find other points, such as , , etc.
-
Draw the line:
- Once you have multiple points, draw a straight line through these points.
