How Do You Graph a Line If You're Given the Slope and a Single Point?

The coordinate axes are made up of the x- and y- axes
We can use the directions we know from the "rise" and "run" to figure out where other points on the line should be plotted
Once you have three points, you can graph the line

1. Without taking the slope into account, our line could look like just about any line going through that point
1. Since slope is "rise" divided by "run", either the "rise" or the "run", not both, must be negative to give us a negative slope
1. Slope is defined as "rise" over "run"
1. Slope is defined as "rise" over "run"
1. We can use what we know about "rise" and "run" to find other points on our line
1. You can break up the slope into "rise" and "run" to help you find new points
1. You can break up the slope into "rise" and "run"

Graph the line that has a slope of -1/2 and goes through the point (3,4)
