Question

Graph a line with a slope -3 passing through the point (2,-4).

The slope (gradient) is stated as a single value so this is a straight line graph

Determined by the equation of the line y=mx+c where y is the y intercept, m is the gradient or slope x is the x intercept and finally c is the constant value

Gradient is m=change in ychange in x reading left to right

m=change in ychange in x reading left to right=−3

So the y value becomes less as you read left to right. The slope is down.
