Graph the line with slope -1 passing through the point (-3, 4).

Understand the Problem
The question asks to graph a line with a slope of -1 that passes through the point (-3, 4). This requires understanding the concept of slope and how to plot a line given a point and a slope.
Answer
The line with slope $-1$ passing through the point $(-3, 4)$ is graphed by plotting the point $(-3,4)$ and then using the slope $\frac{-1}{1}$ to find another point, $(-2,3)$. A line is then drawn through these two points.

Steps to Solve
- Plot the given point
Plot the point $(-3, 4)$ on the coordinate plane. This means go 3 units to the left of the origin (0,0) along the x-axis and 4 units up along the y-axis.
- Use the slope to find another point
The slope is given as $-1$, which can be written as $\frac{-1}{1}$. This means for every 1 unit you move to the right on the x-axis, you move 1 unit down on the y-axis. From the point $(-3, 4)$, move 1 unit to the right to $x = -2$ and 1 unit down to $y = 3$. This gives you the point $(-2, 3)$.
- Draw the line
Draw a straight line through the points $(-3, 4)$ and $(-2, 3)$. This line represents the equation of the line with a slope of $-1$ passing through the point $(-3, 4)$.

More Information
The line can be extended indefinitely in either direction. Any point on the line satisfies the equation $y = -x + 1$.
Tips
A common mistake is to misinterpret the slope. A slope of $-1$ means moving down 1 unit for every 1 unit to the right, not up.
