1. Examples





1. Draw a line with slope = 3 and point = (4,5)

Solution:
Step 1: Plot the first point `color{green}{(4,5)}`


Step 2: Find second point by using the slope
`m="rise"/"run"=3/1`

`:."rise"=3` and `"run"=1`

From `(4,5)`, Plot the point that is 3 units up and 1 unit right.

We get the second point as `(4+1,5+3)=(5,8)`.

So, plot the second point `color{blue}{(5,8)}`


Step 3: Draw a line through these two points `(4,5)` and `(5,8)`



2. Draw a line with slope = 4 and point = (-5,6)

Solution:
Step 1: Plot the first point `color{green}{(-5,6)}`


Step 2: Find second point by using the slope
`m="rise"/"run"=4/1`

`:."rise"=4` and `"run"=1`

From `(-5,6)`, Plot the point that is 4 units up and 1 unit right.

We get the second point as `(-5+1,6+4)=(-4,10)`.

So, plot the second point `color{blue}{(-4,10)}`


Step 3: Draw a line through these two points `(-5,6)` and `(-4,10)`



3. Draw a line with slope = -5 and point = (6,7)

Solution:
Step 1: Plot the first point `color{green}{(6,7)}`


Step 2: Find second point by using the slope
`m="rise"/"run"=-5/1`

`:."rise"=-5` and `"run"=1`

From `(6,7)`, Plot the point that is 5 units down and 1 unit right.

We get the second point as `(6+1,7-5)=(7,2)`.

So, plot the second point `color{blue}{(7,2)}`


Step 3: Draw a line through these two points `(6,7)` and `(7,2)`



4. Draw a line with slope = 6 and point = (7,-8)

Solution:
Step 1: Plot the first point `color{green}{(7,-8)}`


Step 2: Find second point by using the slope
`m="rise"/"run"=6/1`

`:."rise"=6` and `"run"=1`

From `(7,-8)`, Plot the point that is 6 units up and 1 unit right.

We get the second point as `(7+1,-8+6)=(8,-2)`.

So, plot the second point `color{blue}{(8,-2)}`


Step 3: Draw a line through these two points `(7,-8)` and `(8,-2)`
