Draw

Graph the line that has a slope of -2 and a vertical intercept at $$(0,-5)$$ .

Draw

Draw a line with the slope of $$-3$$ through Point $$A$$ . What other point lies on that line? Use the coordinate grid to draw the line.

Draw

Draw a line with the slope of $$\frac{-1}{4}$$ through Point $$A$$ . What other point lies on that line? Use the coordinate grid to draw the line.

Draw

Draw a line with the slope of $$\frac{-1}{2}$$ through Point $$C$$ . What other point lies on that line? Use the coordinate grid to draw the line.

Draw

Draw a line with the slope of $$\frac{-2}{3}$$ through Point $$E$$ . What other point lies on that line? Use the coordinate grid to draw the line.

Open Ended

A container of fuel empties at a rate of 5 gallons per second. A graph representing this situation is drawn in the coordinate plane, where $$x$$ is the number of seconds that have passed since the container started emptying, and $$y$$ is the amount of fuel remaining in the container. Will the slope of the line representing this situation have a positive, negative, or zero slope? Explain your reasoning.
