Describe and correct the error a student made when graphing y+5=-2/3(x-8) 1. Plot a point at (-5,8)
2.plot a point 3 units down and 4 units right from (-5,8) at (-1,5)
3. Connect the points with a line
The students first error was in step— step 1 should involve plotting a point at —
Step 2 should involve plotting a point—units—and—units—from the point in step 1, at — step 3 connecting the points with a line was correct.
