Graph a line that has a slope of 5/2 and includes the point (-2, -7)

First make an equation
Y = 5/2x + b
Plug in the points
-7 = 5/2(-2) + b
-7 = -5 + b, b = -2
Equation: y = 5/2x - 2

Find two points and draw a line
(0, -2) and (-2, -7)
Draw a line between the points

First locate the turning point (vertex) of the graph. which is at the coordinates x=5 and y=9 or (5; 9).to determine whether it's a maximum or mininum value, you have to discern whether the vertex's y-value is the highest value or lowest value the graph can reach. since the vertex's y-value, 9 is the highest value the graph can reach, it will be a maximum.another basic way to determine whether the vertex's value is max or min is to see if the graph is smiling or sad. if it's smiling, the turning point/vertex would be a minimum, while a sad parabola would have a maximum y-value at the vertex.
