If the x-intercept is a positive value and the y-intercept is a negative value, what will the graph look like?

On one grid, plot the line that has an x-intercept = 2 and y-intercept is -5. On a second grid, plot the line that passes through (5, 0) and (0, -2).

1. What do you notice about the direction of the line? What can you conclude? Answer
2. On each graph, look at the triangle created by the x-intercept, the y-intercept, and the origin. What is the height of the triangle? How do you know? What is the base of the triangle? How do you know? What do you notice about the steepness of the line? What can you conclude? Answer

Scenario 4: xintercept is positive and yintercept is negative What do you notice about the direction and steepness ofthe line
