How do you graph a line when the slope is a decimal?
Slope of a Line:
The slope of a line {eq}(m) {/eq} is the ratio of how much it rises over how much it moves forward or {eq}m = \dfrac {\text{rise}}{\text{run}} {/eq}. The slope can be expressed as a whole number which means that the run is equal to 1. A positive slope means that the line is leaning to the right and when it is negative it is leaning to the left.
