Graph the line with slope g passing through the point (2, - 5).
The slope-intercept form of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. However, we don't know the y-intercept in this case, so we'll use the point-slope form, which is y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is the given point and m is the slope.
We know the slope is g, so plugging in (2, -5) gives:
y - (-5) = g(x - 2)
Simplifying, we get:
y + 5 = g(x - 2)
Now let's rearrange this equation into slope-intercept form by solving for y:
y = g(x - 2) - 5
So our equation is y = gx - 2g - 5. This line passes through the point (2, -5) and has a slope of g. To graph it, we can plot the point (2, -5) and then use the slope to find additional points on the line. For example, if g = 2, we can start at (2, -5) and use the slope to find the point (3, -3) and (4, -1). If g = -1/2, we can start at (2, -5) and use the slope to find the point (1, -6) and (3, -4).
Here's an example graph with g = 2:

To graph the line with slope g passing through the point (2, -5), follow these steps:
Step 1: Plot the given point (2, -5) on a Cartesian plane. This point represents one point on the line.
Step 2: Use the slope g to determine a second point on the line. The slope of a line represents the change in the y-coordinates divided by the change in the x-coordinates. In other words, it tells you how much the line rises or falls vertically for every unit it moves horizontally.
Step 3: Let's assume the slope g is 3/2. Starting from the point (2, -5), you can use the slope to find another point on the line. Since the slope is 3/2, you can interpret this as "for every 2 units the line moves horizontally, it moves up 3 units vertically."
Starting from the point (2, -5), you can move 2 units to the right and 3 units up to reach another point on the line. This gives you the point (4, -2).
Step 4: Once you have the two points (2, -5) and (4, -2), draw a straight line passing through these two points. This line represents the graph of the line with slope g passing through the point (2, -5).
Note: If you have the actual value of the slope g, you can replace the slope g with that value in step 3 to find the second point on the line.
