So lately in math we've been learning about slopes. The formula of slope is y=mx+b. The way to solve this, is to remember that m=slope, and slope is rise over run (rise/run).
First of all, we need to know what the slope is. In this case, we are going to use y=7/4x + -8. First, you have to have a four quadrant graph. Look for -8 on the graph, and mark it. Then, use the rise, which is 7. Since it's not a negative, you go up 7 units. Then when you're done, you go right 4 times, since it's not a negative. Remember, if it's negative, then it goes the opposite direction.
Slopes and hills are actually easy, as long as you follow directions and do it the right way. Remember, the effort may seem meaningless now, but it will pay off in the future.
