Answer 1

If you're graphing it on a number line, you just put a dot in the appropriate location. For instance, 1/2:

|-----o-----|
0............1

(And I hope that translates properly.) The other numbers will work similarly.

If you're graphing it on something else, you'll need to provide details.

Answer 2

hey...are you talking about slope?...well to graph slope...the numerator is the top...the denomorator is the bottom. when graphing...you always go up and down on the numerator...for the denomorator...you always go left and right. If the slope is negative...you go to the left (remember, this does not deal with the numerator)...if the slope is positive...you go to the right...
