$y = - 11 x$

Step 1

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Step 1.1

The slope-intercept form is

$y = m x + b$ , where

$m$ is the slope and

$b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Step 1.2

Find the values of

$m$ and

$b$ using the form

$y = m x + b$ .

$m = - 11$

$b = 0$

Step 1.3

The slope of the line is the value of

$m$ , and the y-intercept is the value of

$b$ .

Slope:

$- 11$

y-intercept:

$(0, 0)$

Slope:

$- 11$

y-intercept:

$(0, 0)$

Step 2

Any line can be graphed using two points. Select two

$x$ values, and plug them into the equation to find the corresponding

$y$ values.

Step 2.1

Create a table of the

$x$ and

$y$ values.

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ 0 & 0 \\ 1 & - 11 \end{array}$

Step 3

Graph the line using the slope and the y-intercept, or the points.

Slope:

$- 11$

y-intercept:

$(0, 0)$

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ 0 & 0 \\ 1 & - 11 \end{array}$
