Answer

Refer to the graph below.

Work Step by Step

RECALL: The slope is the ratio of the rise (change in y-value) over the run (change in x-value). To graph the line with the given conditions, perform the following steps: (1) Plot the point$(0, 5)$. (2) Use the slope to plot a second point. With a slope of $-\frac{2}{3}$, the line has a rise of $-2$ and a run of $3$. Thus, from $(0, 5)$, move 2 units down and 3 units to the right to reach $(3, 3)$. Plot $(3, 3)$. (3) Connect the two points using a straight line. (Refer to the graph in the answer part above.)
