![**Graph the Line with a Given Slope**
**Objective:**
Graph a line with a slope of -3 that passes through the point (-5, -3).
**Instructions:**
1. **Identify the point and slope:** The line must pass through the point (-5, -3) with a slope of -3.
2. **Plot the given point on the graph:**
- Find the x-coordinate of -5 and the y-coordinate of -3 on the graph, and mark this point.
3. **Use the slope to find another point:**
- From the point (-5, -3), use the slope of -3 (which means a rise/run of -3/1). This indicates moving down 3 units and right 1 unit to find the next point.
4. **Draw the line:**
- Connect the points with a straight edge to form the line. Extend the line in both directions, continuing the pattern established by the slope.
**Graph Explanation:**
The graph provided is a standard Cartesian coordinate plane with the x-axis ranging from -10 to 10 and the y-axis also ranging from -10 to 10. Each axis is marked with grid lines for precise plotting.
**Tools:**
In the image, there are also tools depicted, which seem to include options for drawing and editing features on the graph, such as pencil icons and an eraser.
**Conclusion:**
This exercise helps in understanding how to graph a line using a given point and slope by plotting points and drawing lines on a coordinate plane.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fd7b230f4-8df1-4e3a-a0d4-9c2e35fa102c%2Fd93e8c74-8c60-407d-a682-d2d2ed8c8d45%2Fc149g6q_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
