Graph the equation y=5/4x - 10 using the y intercept point and slope

The graph is attached

in order to graph this equation, you need to start off by answering the question: where is the y-intercept?

y=mx+b

m= slope
b=y-intercept

according to y=5/4x-10, our y-intercept would be -10.

now we need to find the slope, represented by m, which is 5/4.

this is where rise over run comes in.

for this problem, we rise 5 units up and run 4 units towards the right.

we can repeat these as many times as it is necessary, and also do the negative counterpart to get the rest of the line.
(5 units down, 4 units left)

hope i helped!!

Hope this ; )
