Graph this line using the slope and y-intercept:
y = -\frac{1}{5}x - 3
Click to select points on the graph.

Answer

To graph the line y = -\frac{1}{5}x - 3, follow these steps:

  1. Identify the y-intercept: The y-intercept is -3, so plot the point (0, -3) on the graph.
  2. Use the slope: The slope is -\frac{1}{5}, which means for every 5 units you move to the right, you move 1 unit down. From the y-intercept (0, -3), move 5 units to the right and 1 unit down to plot the next point (5, -4).
  3. Draw the line: Connect the points (0, -3) and (5, -4) with a straight line extending in both directions.
