Graph the line that satifies each condition:
1. slope=4 and contains (1,2)
2. slope=0 and contains (-3,-4)
How would I graph it? I am confused

It's easier to figure these problems out if you remember the equation y=mx+b. Slope-intercept equation. Where m=slope, b=y-intercept and you have your domain values (x,y). So for the first problem x=1, y=2, and m=4. Plug these numbers into the equation and solve for b. You end up with b= -2. So draw your 4 qaudrants and place a circle on the point of (1,2) and a second circle on the y-intercept of -2. Then draw a line! You could do the same for problem #2 but remember a line with a slope of zero is always horizontal. Good luck!

Find the coordinate point first. The 2nd would just be a horizontal line becuase the slope is 0. For the first, you could move to the next number on the x intercept (horizontal) and move up 4 spaces.
